Highly visible since the start of the season, Jean-Clair Todibo seems to pose a problem for Kylian Mbappé during training for the France team.

The French team seems to have an inexhaustible supply of central defenders. While waiting for the return of Presnel Kimpembe, the Blues can count on Dayot Upamecano, Ibrahima Konaté, Wesley Fofana, Axel Disasi, William Saliba, Jules Koundé or Benjamin Pavard, all installed in the biggest European clubs.

The Blues attackers are not having an easy time in training, but according to Nice-Matin journalist William Humberset, the only one to pose a problem for Kylian Mbappé during the France team gatherings is not other than Jean-Clair Todibo, who has been enjoying the good days of Nice since his departure from FC Barcelona, ​​where he failed to establish himself after joining the Blaugrana club at just 19 years old.

“Kylian Mbappé confides privately that the only defender in the French team who manages to hold him in training is Jean-Clair Todibo”, he confided to the microphone of GymTonic. And Kylian Mbappé has no trouble facing the former Barcelona player in training with the Blues. It is also the same during the confrontations with OGC Nice, the native of Guyana managing to contain the top scorer in Ligue 1. Despite the Parisian scorer’s double, the Côte d’Azur defender still did well against to the Bondynois during the recent visit of OGC Nice to the Parc des Princes, concluded with a success for the Aiglons (2-3), the Parisian n°7 managing to shine far from his partner among the Blues.
