France coach Didier Deschamps admits Kylian Mbappe visibility while wearing a mask is a proble. But says it’s something the football player will have to get used to.
France beat Belgium 1-0 in the Euro 2024 last 16 on Monday to book a place in the quarter-finals on July 5 UFABET
After the match, the media did not miss the opportunity to ask about the performance of Kylian Mbappe. Who has not able to score a goal from a normal shot. The question was linked to the mask wearing that may affect the performance of the 25-year-old football striker.
“He’s getting used to it (the mask),” Dede said when asked about Mbappe and wearing a nose mask on the pitch.
“He’s doing better with it on. As he plays, he sweats and we know it can get in his eyes. He’s getting used to it but it can affect his vision.
“He used to say it was like he was seeing things in three dimensions. Everything in front of him looked good. But the lines in his field of vision were slower than before. He’s going to have to get used to it over the next few weeks or months.”
Mbappe is expected to be called upon for the first time since his nose was brutally broken in France’s tournament opener against Austria. With the Poland clash set to see him make a first outing wearing his new protective mask.
