Didier Deschamps pleads with PSG to rest Kylian Mbappe ahead of the Qatar World Cup in November

Didier Deschamps has asked Christophe Galtier to rest Kylian Mbappe in a number of matches ahead of the start of the World Cup in Qatar in November, with teams across Europe facing frenetic match congestion in the coming months.

The French national team manager has called for his superstar to ‘breathe’ between matches, but the PSG boss has not thought of letting his best player go to the bench.

Mbappe has started the season in sparkling form, with 10 goals in nine games, and despite his surprising streak, Deschamps will be keen to see his attacker come to Qatar fully fit.

He told the French outlet Telefoot: ‘I know he’ [Galtier] still want to play Kylian. But every now and then: to be able to breathe a little, to have a few good minutes less, it won’t let him down, on the contrary.’

The distinct world-class quality that brings the 23-year-old to his already star-studded side may not be missed too much in Ligue 1.

However, his side still has four games to play in the Champions League, where Galtier is sure to use his strongest side to give the best chance of progression.

From a possible 810 minutes from nine games so far, Mbappe has played 767, highlighting how abhorred the French boss is at risking not using his smartest offensive outlet despite not being in the roster for the first. game of the season.

But it appears that Deschamps himself is not keen to let the 23-year-old rest, having played 90 minutes against Austria on Thursday night, and will certainly play a part against Denmark on Sunday night.

National team managers stand for a nail-biting two months, watching the progress of their stars through gritted teeth, cringing at the slightest gust of wind in their direction.

Mbappe’s team-mates Neymar and Lionel Messi will also certainly be vital to their respective countries’ hopes at the tournament, and between the three they have racked up an incredible 43 goals and assists.

The former Monaco speed demon was the basis of the success of Deschamps in charge of his country, and starred as Les Bleus who won the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

If they want to have the hope of getting close to that achievement in Qatar, they need him to be fresh and at his best.
