France coach Deschamps discusses the challenges facing Real Madrid striker Mbappe

Deschamps mentioned, "Kylian is juggling many responsibilities right now."

"The interests of clubs and the interests of national teams necessarily diverge, we must not forget that the employer is the club and that it is not the federation that is the employer of the player."

On replacing Mbappe as captain, the coach continued: "The lack of experience is not the decisive factor, but rather the ability that some may have to assume this responsibility at this moment without that being able to modify their behaviour or their performance, hence the importance for me of knowing the players well on a human level, their character, their sensitivity."
