Deschamps Dismisses ‘Dictator’ Claims Against Mbappé After Paraguay Win

Didier Deschamps has rejected reports that his captain, Kylian Mbappé, acts like a dictator. He says the harsh media portrayal does not match the reality within the squad. His defence came after France secured a 1-0 victory over Paraguay in the World Cup Round of 16. The match saw no shots on target in the first half and erupted into a mass confrontation after a heavy challenge on Mbappé. Rennes starlet Désiré Doué won the penalty that Mbappé calmly converted for the only goal. Mbappé now leads the Golden Boot race with seven goals, and Les Bleus will face Morocco in the quarter-finals.
