Mbappe criticized for poor performance at EURO, coach Deschamps defends his favorite player

Up to now, one of the most disappointing stars at EURO is Mbappe of the French national team. However, coach Deschamps still believes that Mbappe will play more explosively in the semi-finals.

EURO 2024 has reached the semi-finals and France have entered the last 4 round with a very unconvincing performance. After 5 matches, the former 2018 World Cup champion has only scored 3 goals, including 2 own goals and 1 penalty goal by Mbappe.

There are only 2 matches left for Mbappe to shine at EURO this year

Real Madrid’s new blockbuster player next season has also shown inconsistent performance since the beginning of the tournament, although Mbappe received the highest expectations before the tournament started. Part of the reason for the former PSG player’s lackluster performance comes from an injury to his nose and having to wear a mask, which affects his observation and vision.

Recently, coach Deschamps himself had to speak up to defend his favorite student against a wave of criticism from the public. The head coach of the French team said: “Do you think that with what he has done, Mbappe has created enough history? Not yet, he still wants more, wants to write more memorable milestones.

We are here and we have done everything possible to make Kylian available for the tournament. During the preparation, he even had a small problem with his back but in the end he was still here. Even if Mbappe is not at 100%, just being on the pitch is enough to make the opponent wary and have to find a way to deal with him.”

With such statements, it can be seen that coach Deschamps still has complete confidence in Mbappe’s performance. It is almost certain that Real’s new player will be in the starting lineup in the semi-final match against Spain on July 10. During the past 6 years under Deschamps’ reign, Mbappe has been a key player, almost “untouchable” in the French team . The fact that this striker was given the captain’s armband despite his young age is clear proof of that.

Fans of the “Gaulois Rooster” are hoping that Mbappe will perform at his peak at the right time, just like the way he helped France win the 2018 World Cup, or scored 3 goals against Argentina in the 2022 World Cup final, to help France win the EURO after many years of waiting.
