France manager Didier Deschamps reacted to Kylian Mbappe's performance against Australia
Kylian Mbappe scored his fifth FIFA World Cup goal in the eighth World Cup game against Australia.
The Frenchman scored a stunning header to score his side's third. Deschamps hailed the 2018 World Cup winning star for his performance in the opening game of this edition.
He told the media (via GOAL):
"Kylian of course has been one of the best players in the world for some time now and he is feeling very confident, you can see that in the way he is playing. I knew that he was going to be ready for this World Cup, it is his competition, he knows how to make a difference."
He continued:
"He is part of a team and he has always been able to play as part of a team even though he is an individual, flair player as well. So that is great for us. I have got a lot of attackers, but Kylian is of course an outstanding one.''
