A genius who must be preserved from defensive efforts or a simple individualist who thinks more about his goals than the collective effort? Opinions still differ about the impact of Kylian Mbappé within a football team. One thing is certain, no coach has succeeded in making him the king of pressing, and we should probably forget this option permanently. In any case, this is what Didier Deschamps assures, who responded to a journalist who pointed out the Real Madrid striker’s lack of withdrawal.
“It’s your analysis, I consider that this is not the case, even if some may run less than others. If you want him to do at least 11 km per match, don’t get tired, he won’t do them.”said the national coach, before continuing: “Kylian, you like him, you don’t like him, but the young people love him. You have the image of a selfish, individualistic guy, and certainly an attacker must also be selfish, but I can assure you that in the functioning of the France team, he behaves like a captain. » You will have understood, Kylian Mbappé pays in goals, not in kilometers traveled, and that suits his coach well!
