France coach Didier Deschamps says his side will be prepared to deal with Iceland's long throws when they meet in the Euro 2016 quarterfinals.
The Icelandic tactic has been a feature of their remarkable run to the last eight of the competition in France, with their equaliser in the 2-1 round-of-16 victory over England coming via that route.
While England struggled to cope with the ploy, Deschamps says France know just what to expect when they come up against Iceland at the Stade de France on Sunday.
"We know they often use low, straight throw-ins with well-defined positioning because that's something they've been repeating match after match," Deschamps told a news conference.
"We will take measures to limit the effect of that aspect of their game. When they have a throw-in 30 or 40 metres from goal, it's the equivalent of a set piece. They know they are not going to get that many corners in a game and they compensate that by using the throw-in as a set piece.
"They weigh on your defence with two tall strikers who put you under a lot of pressure. I can't make my own players taller by giving them a few more centimetres but we do have some who can fight for high balls."
Deschamps did, however, acknowledge that there is more to Iceland's game than just long throws and aerial duels.
"They have quality players who can also play on the ground with combinations," he said.
"My players have been watching their games and perfectly know that they did not get to that stage by accident. They deserve to be where they are."
