Mbappe’s physical condition and work ethic were also lauded, with the head coach revealing that the 27-year-old is leading from the front in training drills. Deschamps noted that the striker’s evolution since his breakout performance in the 2018 World Cup has been constant, driven by an insatiable desire to be the best in history.
Deschamps continued: “He gives goals and continues to score. Kylian, in 2018, he was already very strong. He is always looking for better; he breaks records and will break more. He can miss a control or an opportunity, but he doesn’t tremble afterwards. He belongs to the breed of extraordinary players, and it’s a good thing that he is French.”
