Kylian Mbappé is definitely having a special 2024. Criticized at PSG, the world star joined Real Madrid and his debut was sluggish in the club of his dreams. With the Blues, the Bondynois is no longer as incisive and he is coming off a failed Euro. As a result, many people are wondering about the content that the next few months of competition will have for KM9. His position in the French team is also questionable. Capable of playing on the left, the emergence of Bradley Barcola with France and his new role as a striker at Real Madrid could refocus Mbappé.
Asked about his captain’s positioning, Didier Deschamps left doubts hanging this Sunday at a press conference, on the eve of the Nations League match against Belgium (8:45 p.m.): “With Paris, he found himself very often in an axial position. In his club, that’s the position he will have. He has the ability to play on the left, it all depends on what the opponent offers in front. He has been in this position for a while. We see him more on the left than on the right. He has freedom, the others too. You need to be present in the box when he is not there. It’s complementarity.»
