The French, who boast the tournament’s leading scorer, stand between the ‘Three Lions’ and a semifinal berth
DOHA, Qatar — England’s players have been asked one question on repeat as they prepare to face France in the World Cup quarterfinals on Saturday. How do you stop Kylian Mbappé? Hardly surprising, given Mbappé is the tournament’s leading scorer with five goals and is widely considered the man to succeed Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo as soccer’s biggest star.
“I’m sure England will have prepared to face Kylian,” France coach Didier Deschamps said at a news conference Friday. “But Kylian is in the position to make a difference.There is no sense of France trying manage expectations of its star player, even as the hype surrounding him grows with each stellar performance in Qatar.
Mbappé is being depicted as an unstoppable force in Qatar – something England defender Kyle Walker pushed back against this week. “I very much like Gareth. If I understand correctly, not everyone appreciates him so much in his own country,” noted Deschamps.
