Despite being the only Frenchman to score in the competition, Kylian Mbappe has come under fire for the striker’s rapid return to action and his ineffective goal-scoring.
France coach Didier Deschamps has put Mbappe’s naysayers to rest by leaping to his defence. “Don’t you think he has already made enough history with what he has done so far?,” he said during the French television show Telefoot.
“He aspires to shatter even more records. Together with the medical team, we used every effort to ensure his safe arrival. Even though he experienced a minor back issue during training, Kylian is here to help.
“Even if he’s not 100%, I know very well that for the opponent, knowing he’s playing makes them think and forces them to adapt.”
