WORLD CUP 2022 – France – Denmark – Ten warriors and Kylian Mbappé: “He is extraordinary”

If we had to sum up this French team, it would be ten warriors in a tight row and Kylian Mbappé to take them to the top. A caricature ? Surely not. Since the start of the World Cup and since Karim Benzema had to leave his place, it seemed obvious that the salvation of the reigning world champions would pass through the feet of the terror of PSG. The facts have not so much contradicted the prophecy. After 180 minutes on the pitch, Mbappé is down to one assist, three goals and has already climbed to the top step of the scoring charts.

We knew it on mission, we could doubt its effectiveness. A year after having done too much for nothing at the Euro, he is doing no less in Qatar but, reinforced by an exceptional season in Paris, this time, he has turned his destiny and that of the Blues on the right side. “Kylian, we all know him, in all competitions he wants to make his mark and he is doing itnoted Jules Koundé after his demonstration against the Danes. We are very happy for him because he always brings to the team.”

It is the advanced weapon, the ultimate recourse. “Having Mbappé in his team helps!had fun Raphaël Varane after the meeting. We had to be solid collectively and put the front players in the best possible position so that they could make a difference. It’s a collective effort, but it’s always the talent that makes the difference.“

His strength today is that he never doubts again. Still, he had a few reasons for having a bad night. For an hour, between his bad choices and his missed passes, he seemed set to miss out. But like against Australia, he flashed the light once and then twice. As if everything that had happened before wasn’t of much interest. Despite everything he accomplishes, no one believes in Mbappé as strongly as Mbappé himself, that’s why he never doubts even in the heart of an afternoon when he does everything backwards.

The Russian lieutenant who became a general in Qatar

“Kylian… he is an extraordinary playerstill recognized Didier Deschamps. He has this ability to be able to be decisive, to make differences, even if the adversaries make arrangements.“Like, for example, pinning him to the ground when he spins, or rather flies, and makes his opponents look like tractors.”For once, it’s the only solution we had.“, laughed Joachim Andersen according to comments relayed by L’Equipe.

Inflated by prerogatives that have never been so great in selection, the lieutenant of Russia has become a general in Qatar. “He is a leader, confirmed his coach. (…) Kylian is not going to speak, it’s not really his thing, but because of what he does he is a locomotive.” Having become, at 23, the Blues’ second top scorer in the World Cup (in nine small matches!), He will still have the opportunity to carve out his legend in four days in Tunisia. Deschamps will not take the risk of doing so. blow. Because Mbappé will not want to breathe. Ever. This World Cup, he wants to make it his own and it is clear that he is off to a good start.
