Laurent Blanc has urged France to avoid the mistakes they made against England by starting strongly against co-hosts Ukraine in their second Euro 2012 outing in Donetsk on Friday.
"We've re-watched the England game a few times," he said at Thursday's pre-match press conference.
"We could have been 2-0 down after 25 minutes and it would've been very difficult to come back. But the goal woke us up and tomorrow (Friday) I hope we'll be awake from the first second of the match."
France were second-best for the first quarter of their opening Group D match on Monday and fell behind to a 30th-minute Joleon Lescott header before earning a draw through Samir Nasri's equaliser nine minutes later.
