Both present in the United States to compete in the 2026 World Cup, Ousmane Dembélé and Kylian Mbappé will have the desire to bring a third star to France. In the meantime, Dembélé stepped up to defend his teammate, who has not stopped being criticized by the press.

“We were very unfair to him. We’re overdoing it with the criticism of Kylian because he’s an incredible player. He’s a great person off the field, because I’ve known him for a long time. Sometimes we exaggerate in the criticism simply because it is Kylian Mbappé. You don’t have to be so hard on him. Whether he ties his shoes, whether he doesn’t tie them, whether he pulls up his socks, whether he doesn’t pull them up… It’s too much. Because he remains a human being and he is a player of exceptional quality. In any case, here in the French team, he gets along very well with us. He is a leader, the captain of our team and he is a very important player.he told Marca.
