After his defeat against Spain in the semi-finals of the League of Nations (4-5), the French team managed to conclude the tournament on a good note. Opposed to Germany in the match for third place, the Tricolores won (2-0), with a Kylian Mbappé goalscorer and then decisive passer. Aurélien Tchouameni analyzed French success, with a few words for his Madrid teammate.
At the end of the meeting, the midfielder analyzed the course of the match, but also defended Mbappé: ” We did not start well but after twenty minutes, we were more compact and in the end, I think we deserved to win. We showed a beautiful face. The system is one thing especially offensively, but defensively, we have to adapt to the opponent. We changed something after 20 minutes defensively and we were better then. We were very open, very compact, suddenly we decided to put more people in the middle to let them pass on the sides. Those in front have exceptional qualities and we must take advantage of them (…) Mbappé knows that it will be criticized whatever happens. He showed that it does not affect him at all today (Sunday). A declaration that will surely be warm at the heart of the person concerned.
