Recover a player who is in poor form at club and get him back on his feet in one or two international matches with the Blues. Didier Deschamps knows the recipe, he often shared it with Antoine Griezmann when things were not going very well at the club. It is time for the coach to do the same with Kylian Mbappé, whose start to the season, surely affected by preparation truncated by the cinema of the transfer window, is not up to the level of the man. “I will speak with Kylian,” said DD at a press conference this Monday. He is going through a period that he has not often experienced. With him, it’s more visible. Is he clumsy? I don’t know. We are not going to repeat its history. What he experienced this summer took its toll. »
Deschamps also claims a right to leniency for his player, who cannot always be 100%. “He also has the right to have a period where he is less good with the infernal pace, these matches every three days. He has a role in the French team. It would be good if he regained his effectiveness with us. » We know a Spanish coach who would be delighted to see his striker get back on track against the Netherlands and Scotland. Especially after his big failure on Sunday, against Rennes.
