– The performance presented by striker Killian Mbappe in his country’s match against France against Croatia, whether in the first leg in the European Nations League semi-finals, does not intercede for him to be within the basic squad for coach Didier Deschamps despite his brilliance with his club Real Madrid.
Mbappe registered his return to the French national team after he was absent from the international stoppage for last September, and the hopes were held on him to resolve his qualification against the Croats, but he disappointed the hopes after he was unable to score, whether by registering or by industry in the two matches, only by scoring his penalty shootout.
In exchange for the humility of Mbappe’s performance with the team, the Real Madrid top scorer appeared as a distinguished leader who deserves to wear the captain’s badge, which is the characteristic of his position in the starting lineup of the team, pending his end to the state of fasting that reached the seventh game in a row.
Mbappe was a witness to the strong performances presented by his teammates in the national team, especially the wing Osman Dembele, the second goal, especially the average offensive field Michael Ols, who scored the first roosters and made the other.
The French press paid attention to the modest performance of Mbabe as a striker that the team needed at a critical time, but it turned a blind eye to him in front of his good leadership of the team, which was in urgent need of the player like him on the field in order to motivate his teammates, especially that the squad knew the presence of an important number of those with a few experiences in such matches that need the Rimontada to resolve its results.
