The face of the offensive silence of the Blues at the start of the Euro, Kylian Mbappé will inevitably be expected on Friday evening, during the quarter-final against Portugal. A match during which the Madrilenian would be well inspired to score his second goal in the competition, and to carry his team as he had been able to do in 2018 or 2022. It will not be a sinecure, even less with a mask, as Didier Deschamps’ assistant, Guy Stéphan, reminded us, present at a press conference this Wednesday. According to the 67-year-old technician, his player’s injury has certainly been minimized.
“Kylian, I think we all minimized his trauma with his broken nose. It doesn’t explain everything, but the shock is very traumatic, insisted DD’s right-hand man. A mask, all the players who have to wear one have said it: it’s not easy to play with it. He had a grueling end to the season. It’s still Kylian. He’s a top-level player. Sometimes, he’s not as good, but he’s very present and brings people together.”
