After the Blues’ victory against the Netherlands, Didier Deschamps and Adrien Rabiot said they were not worried about Kylian Mbappé.
If he needed it, Kylian Mbappé reassured. After four matches without arching or delivering an assist with Paris Saint-Germain, the 2018 world champion struck hard by scoring a double on the pitch in the Netherlands this Friday, allowing the Blues to officially qualify for the Euro 2024.

But after the meeting, Didier Deschamps confided that he had not had the slightest concern for his attacker despite this little slump. “With Kylian, there is no need to be worried. When it’s like that, the France team has a much better chance of winning its matches. We are happy for him especially with what he has been through in recent days. He sets the record straight. He was strong and available, they feared him to his face. (…) He takes in a lot of light, he makes sure not to take too much of it outside either. I know some people would like him to talk a little more, but if he talks with his feet, I prefer.”launched the coach of the Blues.
Same story for his teammate Adrien Rabiotholder against the Netherlands and who believes that Mbappé’s status has created this general concern around him in recent weeks. “We never doubted, we do a ton because it’s Kylian, if he doesn’t score very often that’s a problem, he’s very good in this group, he did the job, we’re all very happy”assured the midfielder of Juventus Turin.
