In the France squad for the 2022 World Cup, there are many players who are “cheeked”, “elder”, “older” at club level. But at the moment, the most influential person is undoubtedly Kylian Mbappe even though he is not yet 24 years old.
The welcoming Mbappe has been shaped by Deschamps
In 2018, France won the World Cup 2022 with a generation of talented players and highly effective gameplay when their squad had enough superstars spread across the lines. Amidst a series of Lloris, Varane, Griezmann, Kante, Pogba reaching maturity in their careers at the time, the 18-year-old Mbappe was only considered a prodigy.
Did Mbappe at the 2018 World Cup make a big contribution to the success of DTD France? The answer is “Yes”, even “Impressive”. Young Mbappe, who idolized Cristiano Ronaldo when he was a kid, scored 4 goals, showing outstanding qualities of his super-speeding ability and very good finishing s𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁s at that tournament.

The most outstanding ball that Mbappe showed at the 2022 World Cup was the acceleration in a counter-attack in the match between France and Argentina when the score was 0-0. Mbappe’s breakthrough with “light speed” turned midfielder Tagliafico, who was rich in experience, many tricks of Argentina, into a fool and finally had to foul the opponent in the penalty area. A penalty was converted into the opening goal, then Mbappe personally scored 2 goals and finally France won 4-3 on aggregate. That memorable mark helped Mbappe and France go straight to the throne, and Messi has not yet realized the golden dream of the World Cup with Argentina.
Becoming a world champion at a young age, playing for France’s top club, PSG with countless teammates who are also football superstars, Mbappe does not have a little “star disease” which is strange. Before the 2022/2023 season, there are more and more rumors related to Mbappe. He is said to “turn” to Real Madrid just for the money, deliberately trying to force PSG to sell Neymar, ready to fight for a penalty kick with his teammates, showing an attitude when not passing the ball and culminating in a habit ” khaki” right on the field with Messi, making this famously calm player almost go mad.
It’s a football-related thing, but in real life, Mbappe is dating a transgender person 9 years older than him. Rumors about one-night stands, a somewhat indulgent, hedonistic lifestyle almost every week are revealed in the newspapers.

At the club level that is, and in France, Mbappe is said to have a “discriminatory” attitude towards the old general Giroud, not liking Benzema in the team. When attending the 2022 World Cup, Mbappe was the only one out of 32 teams who refused to give an interview after the match even though it was according to the rules of the World Football Federation (FIFA).
Mbappe is so proud, but there is still someone who knows how to “rule” him, how to tame this young superstar with a slightly unruly personality. That person is coach Didier Deschamps of France. He has done what no one seems to be able to do: Make Mbappe the central character, allowed to be arrogant, but the most important thing is to always shine on the pitch, more importantly, his teammates also feel happy. looks with that.

Mbappe is not looking for a record…
… but more precisely, records are coming to Mbappe, through his runs, finishing touches and then celebrating the goal of the player wearing the number 10 shirt. It seems, when playing for France at the 2022 World Cup, Mbappe has left all the disadvantages in the shirt behind.
Mbappe plays with such inspiration and style that the midfielder, who is also rich in personality and sparing praise for others like Adrien Rabiot, also has to say: “90% of France’s scoring chances are decided by Mbappe.” . Remember, Rabiot was once considered a “wild horse” and he also had a “grudge” with Mbappe when the parents of these two players used to argue in the stands at EURO 2020 when this person ran out of criticism. 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 of the other and vice versa. That shows how good Mbappe really is and how well coach Deschamps is managing the army.

On December 20, ie 2 days after the end of the 2022 World Cup, Mbappe will be 24 years old. But so far, he has scored 9 goals (equal to Ronaldo, 1 more than Messi) even though he has just attended the second World Cup final in his career. Mbappe is leading the list of top scorers with 5 goals and he will certainly be the most dangerous threat to England’s defense in the quarter-final match taking place at 2am on 11/12.
Having won the World Cup title, being the world champion, but that does not make Mbappe complacent. In the rare time he shared with the media at the 2022 World Cup, Mbappe revealed: “I don’t want to give an interview because I want to keep my maximum focus on myself towards the matches. I don’t know either. The French Football Federation may be fined for this, so let me pay the fine.
As for the World Cup, it is a lifelong dream for every player. I’m obsessed with winning the World Cup and I’m doing everything I can to win it again.”

Up to this point, Mbappe is saying yes, doing. The fact that he scored more than half of France’s goals (5/9 goals) after 4 matches and the most prominent role in the attack proved that. Mbappe’s teammates are also not upset about letting the younger teammate be the leader of the attack. They simply understand that Mbappe just shines like that, they are also “fragrant” but the culmination is most likely the successful defense of the World Cup.
With 9 goals scored, Mbappe is 7 goals behind former player Miroslav Klose (Germany) in scoring in the history of World Cup finals. But Mbappe still has the opportunity to increase the number of goals at the 2022 World Cup and he is very young, capable of attending at least 2 more World Cup finals to break this record.
