This Monday, the France team will face Belgium in the round of 16 of Euro 2024. Kylian Mbappé will be eagerly awaited by French fans and observers.
Second in its group, the French team got into trouble at Euro 2024 in Germany. The table that awaits the Blues is very tough. It will start with a round of 16 against Belgium this Monday. A Belgium also in doubt and which has everything to prove. Especially against an opponent who has historically dominated it. If there is one player who will be expected to turn a corner on Monday against the Red Devils, it is Kylian Mbappé. Very disappointing since the start of the tournament and injured in the face, the new Real Madrid player nevertheless retains the confidence of Didier Deschamps, who wants to give him maximum power. A good thing? That is debatable. Against Belgium in any case, with Mbappé’s mask on his head, Deschamps will experience a real headache. Candice Rolland would not say otherwise.
Mbappé, time for doubts?
On the set of The Team Channelthe commentator has indeed given her opinion on the subject: “I think there is a small impact on the mask. Athletically, it is important to know where he is. I don’t think it handicaps him enormously but it makes a difference. Particularly in terms of breathing and vision. We saw his reaction when Lewandowski touched his face. (…) Psychologically he will get used to it. He will get over it. I think that could also have an impact on his positioning against Belgium. On the side, can he run with the mask? Is he better in the middle with fewer runs but his presence in the box… that could be part of the thinking.”. Author of a penalty goal (against Poland) for the moment at the Euro, Kylian Mbappé is still far from his best level, like the rest of the French attack. We will have to find some color on Monday to pass Belgium, otherwise we will experience another significant disappointment during a European Championship.
