Didier Deschamps defends Mbappé in front of the Madrid press

It’s a very important 2026 World Cup for Kylian Mbappé, as the Blues’ first duel against Senegal is fast approaching. After a very average season in Madrid, the Bondynois knows that he must recover during this globalist meeting. In an interview given to MarcaDidier Deschamps was asked about the number 10 merengue and tricolor, and he explained that his player is not particularly affected by the criticism.

“One way or another, we’re always going to talk about him. I think that in France, and it’s the same everywhere, we always hear more from the minority that makes noise than from the silent majority. He lives with criticism, he is prepared, whether it is fair or unfair. Then there are the facts, and his performance. When Real Madrid does not win titles, it is obvious that he is responsible, like the rest of the squad. But being Kylian makes you more demanding, and you say it’s your fault. It’s the same in selection. That Real Madrid supporters are not happy is normal. We may not like it, but elite players know how it’s done.”indicated the French coach.
