Deschamps reveals bold strategy by calling up Mbappé for the match.

The coach of the French National Team, Didier Deschamps, has no doubts: Kylian Mbappé, the prodigy of Real Madrid, has been called up to play and not just to fulfill commercial obligations. With France set to face two heavyweight teams, Brazil and Colombia, in friendlies in the United States, Deschamps reaffirms Mbappé’s importance to his squad, despite concerns regarding his physical condition.

The first clash is scheduled for March 26 at Gillette Stadium in Boston, followed by a match against Colombia on March 29 at Northwest Stadium in Landover. Rumors suggested that Mbappé’s inclusion in the squad was more related to marketing commitments than his on-field performance. Contrary to what many speculated, Deschamps was clear: “From the moment a protocol was established and respected, everything went as planned. He was available for the game against Manchester City, where he played 25 minutes…”

Deschamps’ words leave no room for doubt. The coach confirms that Mbappé is not just a marketing star but a vital player for the national team. “He has an important game on Sunday against Atlético, and he is expected to play, although I wouldn’t want to be in Álvaro Arbeloa’s shoes, so in terms of injury, the protocol was respected,” he added.

Deschamps also revealed that he is in regular contact with Mbappé. “There was no obligation to call him up, even hearing that he was coming here for marketing reasons. Kylian is Kylian, he has an impact, but he wanted to be here with us as a player. I will speak to him again after the derby against Atlético de Madrid,” said the coach.

Expectations are high. Mbappé’s presence on the field could be decisive for France, especially at a time when teams are preparing to intensify their form. Fans are eagerly awaiting to see if the young star can leave his mark on American soil, while Deschamps demonstrates unwavering confidence in his star player’s ability.

This is a call-up that promises not only a football spectacle but also a test of the resilience and skill of one of the greatest talents in today’s sport. The coming weeks will be crucial, not only for the French national team but also for Mbappé’s future in his sporting journey.
