The Euro is fast approaching. Expected after having failed at the last Euros, France has no room for error. Author of a disappointing season with PSG where his departure to Real Madrid was in the air, Kylian Mbappé will also be closely scrutinized in Germany before his departure for the Iberian capital. In recent days, the French players were questioned at a press conference about the state of form of KM7 before the tournament. And while everyone stepped up to defend the 25-year-old striker, Didier Deschamps did the same in an interview with RTL.
“Until February, everything was finerecalled Didier Deschamps. He didn’t experience what he was used to experiencing. I speak regularly with Kylian but he has this ability to manage situations. For support, he has family who are very close to him. He’s a human being. He is coming off a “bad” season with 44 goals…His body and head were used to playing every match from start to finish. So with the pace since the end of February, these are new data which can have consequences on a psychological level or even on a physical level. It’s new, he wasn’t used to it. But here (in selection) it’s another context. The operation is different. Because of who he is, what he represents and his responsibility as captain, he is totally involved in our objective.
