Last Tuesday, France beat Chile by the score of 3 to 2, in a friendly. The match took place at the Stade Vélodrome, home of the Olympic Marseille. After the match, Didier Deschamps, French coach, admitted that he was disappointed with the fans’ attitude towards the number 10 and the team’s great star.
“It’s disappointing, to say the least. Kylian (Mbappé) has the ability to be decisive many times. When he hasn’t scored in two games, it feels like he hasn’t scored in three months. Don’t worry, he will score soon. He had opportunities against Germany, I understand that he also manages a little.”
Kylian Mbappé, with the goal pass he gave to Fofana, reached his 27th assist with France. Thus, together with Henry, the number 10 is the second greatest assistant in the team’s history, passing Zidane with 26. Griezmann with 38 is the leader of the ranking.
