France boss Didier Deschamps in dressing room rant ahead of England World Cup clash

Didier Deschamps conducted a fresh dressing room rant after slamming Jules Kounde for wearing a chain in France's 3-1 win over Poland on Sunday.

The Barcelona defender wore the gold chain for the first 40 minutes of their last-16 tie against the Poles, despite players being banned from wearing jewellery on the pitch. It was soon picked up by the referee, who told Kounde to removed the chain and give it to a member of the French coaching staff.

After the game, Deschamps publicly criticised Kounde for wearing the accessory and said that he was "lucky" to get away with not picking up a punishment for his actions. The 24-year-old ran the risk of getting a yellow card, but the referee decided to be lenient and give nothing to Kounde, who continued on with the game.
