France coach Didier Deschamps said he will talk to Kylian Mbappe to help the captain find his best form.

Mbappe has not scored in the last four matches in all competitions for PSG, something that has rarely happened to him before. The French player’s physical condition was affected by an injury in the match against Marseille on September 24, causing him to fade in the 0-0 draw with Clermont in Ligue I and the 1-4 loss to Newcastle in the Champions League.

Mbappe’s performance is one of the points of attention for the French team during this gathering. The 2022 World Cup runner-up will be a guest at the Netherlands Stadium on the evening of October 13 in the Euro 2024 qualifiers and then play a friendly match with Scotland. Deschamps said he wants to help his students and ensure Mbappe focuses maximum on football.

“He is not in an effective playing phase as usual,” he said. “For a player like Mbappe, this may have some hidden reason. However, compared to before, he has improved and is more mobile. Mbappe repeatedly showed his efforts against Rennes.”

Last weekend, Mbappe played well when PSG won 3-1 against Rennes but did not score . In this match, the 24-year-old striker had a great chance after tricking two opposing players in the 86th minute but missed. Although still leading the Ligue 1 top scorers list with eight goals after nine rounds, Mbappe is causing concern about his form. In addition, there are rumors that the French striker often parties at Paris nightclubs recently.

Mbappe is Ligue 1’s top scorer in the last five seasons. After the Rennes match, French media questioned PSG head coach Luis Enrique about the striker’s performance, but the Spanish military leader said he was not worried. Ousmane Dembele said that his teammates were slowed down by having to play every three days.

According to Deschamps , what happened in this year’s summer transfer window affected Mbappe ‘s performance . At that time, the 24-year-old striker was fined by PSG for declaring that he would not renew his contract with the club. “After all that, and the current density of competition, it is understandable that Mbappe is playing worse,” he said.
