He’s young. He’s  still going to misfire sometimes – as little as possible, I hope for him  and the France team. “We must be patient with young players. But he’s got more than talent.“He’s a guy who can scare defenders. The whole team benefits from  the fear that the opposition have for him. That’s good for the  collective. “At 19, you can’t have everything. It’s not possible. I hope that he  won’t be perturbed. I hope we’ll see the fullness of his talents for a  long time.” Sounded out as a possible alternative to Maurizio Sarri for the Chelsea job, Blanc does not believe France will have it easy against Belgium.“They’ve got a phenomenon of their own with Eden Hazard,” he pointed out. “They’ve a very effective system, especially on the counterattack. Brazil were victims of that. “They’ve players who stick to the game plan. It’ll be complicated  because they’ve made a very good impression. Their attacking trio is  excellent.”</blockquote>
