Mbappe cannot do everything on his own, says France coach Deschamps


France coach Didier Deschamps said Kylian Mbappe needed more support from his teammates after they lost 2-0 to Denmark in the Nations League on Sunday.

Mbappe, who scored in Thursday’s 2-0 win against Austria, forced Denmark goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel to make a few saves but failed to get on the scoresheet as Kasper Dolberg and Andreas Skov Olsen gave the hosts the win.

“Kylian has done a lot of good things,” Deschamps told reporters. “He’s one of the few players to have played two 90 minutes in three days.

“He can’t do everything on his own either. He was more decisive, like the whole team, three days ago, that doesn’t worry me. I’m not worried about Kylian. He also needs the others.”

France, who will meet Denmark again at the World Cup in November, finished third in their Nations League group with five points from six games.
