France manager Didier Deschamps described his delirious World Cup-winning squad as "a little mad" after they celebrated their victory over Croatia in the final by gatecrashing his press conference.


As he prepared to begin his post-match media conference Deschamps was mobbed by a conga line of players chanting his name and dousing him with beer and champagne. He was hugged, squeezed, jostled and cajoled by the young, diverse and talented team he has led to the summit of the sport and he did not attempt to stop them for a moment.


"They are a little crazy, they have always been a little mad," he said with the broadest of smiles. "They are young and they are happy." At 49, Deschamps cannot claim to be young, but he could hardly conceal his happiness.
