World Cup: “People go too far in their criticism!” Ousmane Dembélé defends Kylian Mbappé before the start of the World Cup

They are presented as competitors for the place at the forefront of the attack of the France team, but the latter deny any rivalry. Ousmane Dembélé, reigning Ballon d’Or, could be forced to leave his place as center forward, which he occupies at club level with PSG, to Kylian Mbappé, who traditionally occupies it in the selection. However, after having already cleared any possible tension with Didier Deschamps, the former FC Barcelona player was keen to support his teammate in an interview on June 12.

“Sometimes people go too far in their criticism simply because it is Kylian Mbappé. You should not be so hard on him,” declared Ousmane Dembélé in an interview published by the Spanish daily Marca this Friday, June 12. If he ties his shoes, if he doesn’t tie them, if he pulls up his sock, if he doesn’t pull them up… It’s too much. Because above all he remains a human being and he is a player of exceptional quality,” continues the PSG striker.

Born in 1997 and 1998 respectively, Dembélé and Mbappé are from the same generation and have been around each other for a long time. “He’s a great person off the field, I’ve known him for a long time. In any case, here, in the French team, he gets along very well with us. He’s a leader, the captain of our team, and he’s a very important player,” the Frenchman would like to point out. If there are tensions among the Blues, for the moment they manage to mask them perfectly.
