Les Bleus won the World Cup in Russia in 2018, when a teenage Mbappe announced himself on the global stage.
'Whatever happens, he has left an indelible mark on the French national team,' Mbappe said of Deschamps in an interview with regional daily Ouest-France.
Les Bleus won the World Cup in Russia in 2018, when a teenage Mbappe announced himself on the global stage, and only lost the 2022 final on penalties after an epic battle with Argentina in Doha. Deschamps’s side went out of the delayed Euro 2020 in the last 16, squandering a 3-1 lead before losing on penalties to Switzerland.Mbappe missed the decisive kick and the 25-year-old, who has just signed for Real Madrid, is now hoping to make amends by leading his country to glory in Germany.
“Now if he wants to make a bit more history we need to do something this summer, because the Euros is the only thing he is missing as a coach.France are arguably the standout candidates to lift the trophy on July 14 in Berlin, in the same Olympic Stadium where they lost the 2006 World Cup final on penalties to Italy.
There is something of a different look to France’s left side, with Theo Hernandez likely to play in an advanced full-back role behind Marcus Thuram. His experience, and that of Giroud, could prove crucial in a young squad featuring 11 players aged 25 or under.
