Deschamp downcast over Monaco hopes
Deschamps said: ""In all the competitions we start, our aim is to go as far as possible. My team is talented and our duty is to live up the expectations which resulted from our performance last year.
"The players who stayed will have the experience and will know what to expect in terms of determination and commitment.
"The new ones are used to high-level matches and came to our club to participate in such competitions as the Champions League.
"But it's hard to compare last year's team with the one we have this campaign. They are very different.
"The players are not the same anymore, neither is the organisation.
"I have no certainties and we need to find the right balance."
