France takes risky gamble with Mbappe, Real Madrid: Please, get nose surgery soon

Mbappe did not play in the match between France and the Netherlands on June 22, after a strong collision that resulted in a nose injury to the player a few days ago.

France coach Didier Deschamps revealed: “I thought a lot about whether to use Mbappe or not. He was injured after a nose injury in the match against Austria. In the end, I thought it was best to let Mbappe rest for the match against the Netherlands.”

Mbappe has serious health problems

However, the head coach of the French team still promised: "Mbappe's condition is improving. I will consider using him in the match against Poland (June 25). The French team needs goals and needs a striker who knows how to score goals."

It is understandable that the French team highly appreciates the importance of Mbappe, having a world- class player in the squad but not using him is a waste.

But Mbappe's story at the moment is somewhat similar to Ronaldo's story in the Portuguese national team: it's a pity not to use him, but it's exciting to use him because it's not known whether the most admired star on the team can meet expectations or not?

French team nervous with difficult case named Mbappe

 

Of course, Mbappe is much younger than Ronaldo, there is no way Mbappe cannot keep up with the long passes that his teammates direct towards him, like Ronaldo is experiencing with the Portuguese team. However, that is under normal conditions, and now Mbappe is seriously injured.

If he has to play, the French striker will definitely play with a nose mask, which will affect his vision. Not to mention that playing with an injured nose will probably make Mbappe more cautious in collisions, uncomfortable when rushing into hot spots or when racing.

The situation that led to Mbappe's nose injury

A Mbappe like that can sometimes "get in the way" of his teammates around him. In fact, France is full of talent, has a very strong and even squad, and doesn't put other players in a position where they have to watch Mbappe play.

The match against the Netherlands was a typical example. France did not score, but that was down to the strikers' ability to take advantage of the opportunity. Otherwise, they still created many chances to approach the Dutch goal, proving that they still played very sharply without Mbappe. Also, the fact that the French team did not score, in fact, when they had Mbappe on the field, things did not improve.

The proof is that Mbappe missed 2 chances to face the opposing goalkeeper in the match France won Austria 1-0 on June 18 (the only goal of the French team in this match was an Austrian defender heading into his own goal). Furthermore, Mbappe has not scored any goals in the 2 EURO tournaments he has been present. That means that psychologically, Mbappe is a bit lacking in confidence when playing in the EURO arena. In terms of playing style, European teams are inherently tight and understand how to neutralize Mbappe better than teams in other regions, so Mbappe at EURO does not score as easily as when he appeared in the World Cup arena (Mbappe has a total of 12 goals after only 2 World Cups 2018 and 2022).

A lesson for the French team at the 2002 World Cup. That year, France also waited for Zidane to recover from his injury for most of the group stage. As a result, the French team played very poorly that year and were eliminated early, stemming from the mentality of waiting for a star, stemming from a style of play that depended too much on a star without a backup plan when that star had problems!

Another noteworthy detail is that the club that Mbappe is about to join is quite anxious about his health. They are hoping that he will soon have nose surgery.
