'Of course he’s an important player, a key player, but he’s a team player.'
France boss Deschamps has no qualms over resting ‘team player’ Mbappe in Group D finaleFrance manager Didier Deschamps does not think Kylian Mbappe would take exception for being benched in Les Bleus’ final Group D match against Tunisia.
The 23-year-old would no doubt fancy his chances of adding to that tally if he plays at the Education City Stadium, but Deschamps insisted Mbappe is focused on the bigger picture. While Deschamps can plan ahead, opposite number Tunisia boss Jalel Kadri may only have a few hours left in the job – at least if he sticks to his own promise to step down if he could not secure what would be Tunisia’s first progression beyond the group stages.
“We weren’t very lucky with some tactical decisions we took during the match against Australia,” Kadri said. “Unfortunately this is football and we bear responsibility for those choices. The message I would convey to the players is that nothing is impossible and we are still alive.”
