Kylian Mbappé, headliner and captain of the French team, continues to assert its importance in the tricolor jersey. During the last rally of the Blues in the Nations League, the Real Madrid striker scored 2 goals and issued 2 assists, against Spain (5-4 defeat) in the semi-finals, and against Germany (2-0 victory) during the match for 3rd place.
For Didier Deschamps, the French coach, the shape of the Bondynois is more than satisfactory. Beyond his performances in the field, the Basque technician also praises his role as a leader within the group. “He is in very good physical condition. And in his role as captain, he is also perfect ”, he said.
Assumed positioning
When he was asked about the positioning of his number 10, “the Desch” was clear and unambiguous. “I tell you, for the umpteenth time, I consider him an axial attacker. He scored his goal going from left to right, but he is an axial striker ”he decided.
Note that at his center-forward post, Mbappé was particularly prolific this season, after difficult beginnings among the Merengue. In 54 games, he scored 43 goals and delivered 5 assists, which earned him the European Golden Soulier Trophy.
