Yohan Cabaye praises Laurent Blanc for the way that he has turned around France's fortunes.

Yohan Cabaye has praised the positive impact that coach Laurent Blanc has had on the French national team.

Blanc replaced Raymond Domenech at the helm following the conclusion of the 2010 World Cup.

The squad were in disarray at that point following a revolt which saw a number of players handed suspensions of up to five matches.

However, midfielder Cabaye believes that the arrival of Blanc has eradicated any problems.

"He made us forget the last World Cup, which was a complete failure," said Cabaye. "He has instilled a group mentality and team spirit like you find in a club side.

"You can see the change on the pitch. Now it's important to do ourselves justice during Euro 2012."

France play their first match of the tournament against England tomorrow afternoon.
