Deschamps Outlines Mbappé's Ideal Position on the Field

French national football team head coach Didier Deschamps has discussed the position on the field that best suits the national team's forward, Kylian Mbappé.

“He’s an attacking player who operates from a central position, which affords him greater freedom. But if you're expecting him to be a focal point in the attack, that’s not his role. Kylian plays in this position for both the national team and his club, with the requisite freedom he needs. He’s not a traditional penalty box player, not a central target man. The game needs to be organised around him to ensure maximum complementarity,” Deschamps told Téléfoot.

Mbappé has made 85 appearances for the French national team, scoring 48 goals.
