Hours After Real Madrid President’s 5-Word Reaction to Kylian Mbappe, France Boss Discusses Giving Him ‘Freedom’ at National Team

France toppled Scotland as they won 4-1 in a friendly match. Steve Clarke’s men fell short of using their one-goal advantage as they conceded four goals straight after. Kylian Mbappe received high praise from the France boss for his extraordinary display on and off the pitch. Didier Deschamps expressed his admiration for the ‘real captain’ and the tactical freedom that has been on offer for the 2018 World Cup winner.

Meanwhile, it seems like Florentino Perez is playing his cards smartly. The president of Real Madrid has been on the lookout for Kylian Mbappe for a long time now. But, his latest remarks suggest something is off between the two of them.

Didier Deschamps had no doubts about Kylian Mbappe

Deschamps has been vocal about his appreciation for the PSG striker. He has praised the French international’s skills and leadership qualities in many situations earlier. After France’s overhaul against Scotland, the France boss displayed further admiration for Kylian Mbappe as he talked about his unmatched qualities.

In an interview with Footmercato, he said, “He’s very involved. You were worried, but I wasn’t. Mbappe behaved like a real captain on and off the pitch. He put in a lot of effort, especially defensively. He needs the freedom I give him. Mbappe was radiant, just like the French team over these two matches,” as translated by DeepL.

France conceded a goal early in the game in the 11th minute but quickly grasped the severity of the situation. Soon in the 16th minute, Pavard scored the opening goal for France and bagged another one minutes later in the 24th minute. Antoine Griezmann and Kylian Mbappe both provided an assist. The PSG icon later converted a penalty to take the score to 3-1 while Kingsley Coman’s late strike sealed the fate of Steve Clarke’s men. Such was the influence of the mighty Kylian Mbappe, who has been linked to Los Blancos for the past few seasons.

Florentino Perez doesn’t recognize Mbappe anymore

Kylian Mbappe’s contract situation has sparked a fierce battle between PSG and Real Madrid for his signature. Reports suggest PSG is gearing up to make a contract renewal offer.
