Didier Deschamps "thrilled" with high-flying France

France boss Didier Deschamps says that he is "thrilled" with his team's achievement of winning Group E.

Didier Deschamps has admitted that he is "very satisfied" as his France team confirmed their passage into the last 16 of the World Cup as Group E winners.

Deschamps's side earned the point necessary to top the pool after Les Blues were held to a 0-0 draw with 10-man Ecuador at the Maracana on Wednesday night.

France will now set their sights on Nigeria for Monday's second-round clash in Brasilia, but not before the 45-year-old "savours every moment" from his team's early triumph.

"Ecuador are a very fine side who have a lot of pace up front," he told FIFA.com. "All the same, it's good that we didn't concede.

"I'm overjoyed, thrilled and very satisfied. There's a whole new competition starting now for us. We're going to savour the moment and then focus on Nigeria."

Monday's clash kicks off at 5pm.
