Zapping Our Mondial EXCLUSIVE: Randal Kolo Muani’s “Little Brother” interview!
After his broken nose contracted against Austria during the first match of the French team at Euro 2024 (1-0) and several days of real drama around his return to the field and, above all, his mask, Kylian Mbappé returned to the field with the Blues against Poland. The captain of the Blues was able to play the entire match and even score his first goal in a Euro from the penalty spot. Mbappé, despite a blow received at the end of the match which made him insulting against Robert Lewandowski, managed his new accessory rather well.
Sweating under a mask is a hassle
However, it was not easy as Didier Deschamps explained after the meeting. While vision problems were mainly singled out with this mask, Mbappé also discovered the other problem in the heat of Dortmund: sweating. “With everything he’s been through, I thought his legs were pretty good. With the mask, the perspiration runs into his eyes,” explained Deschamps, highlighting the difficulty of dealing with pronounced sweating when wearing a match. However, the Blues coach remained positive about the return match of Mbappé, who does not intend to let go of the France team despite his fracture. ” You must try. He had a lot of desire, and this match will serve him well for the future,” assures Deschamps.
