Dimitri Payet: 'France must start faster'

Dimitri Payet calls on France to make a faster start to their fixtures at Euro 2016 after they left it late to beat Albania in Marseille.

France attacker Dimitri Payet has called on his side to try to prevent "crazy scenarios" at the end of their fixtures at Euro 2016.

For the second game in succession, France struck during the closing stages as they registered a 2-0 victory over Albania, with Payet sealing the three points after Antoine Griezmann had headed Les Bleus in front.

However, despite the jubilation that followed, Payet has suggested that he would like his side to confirm victory before the final few minutes of a match.

The 29-year-old is quoted by West Ham United's official website as saying: "We will try to stop the crazy scenarios like this. If you enter the game as we did in the second period, we can score earlier and be calmer in the closing stages.

"In the first period, they were fresh and grouped in front of their own goal and I had less possession and time on the ball than usual. Then, with the entry of Paul Pogba and Antoine Griezmann it was different, as the game became more spread and open."

France will seal top spot in Group A if they can earn at least a draw against Switzerland on Sunday night.
