Questions Over Mbappe's Suitability as France's Primary Leader

Kylian Mbappe has been told he lacks the technical brilliance of Michael Olise and Ousmane Dembele as questions arise over his suitability as France’s primary leader. Despite his prolific goalscoring record for Les Bleus, former international Jerome Rothen believes the Real Madrid star should no longer be considered the technical focal point of Didier Deschamps' side.

Criticism of Mbappe's Technical Abilities

Former France international Rothen has sparked debate by suggesting that Mbappe is currently being eclipsed by the creative exploits of Olise and Dembele. Despite Mbappe's storied history with Les Bleus, including 56 goals in 96 appearances and a starring role in the 2018 World Cup triumph, Rothen argues the tactical structure must evolve.
