The captain of the French national team won the Golden Boot, admitting that the individual city cannot obscure the disappointment of losing the title trophy.

The star striker of Real Madrid and the national team of France Kylian Mbappe returned to sick leave after the end of the World Cup. In his emotional post on social media, the forward summed up the team’s performance, shouting to his partners and commenting on the approach of rich coach Didier Deschamps.

At the tournament in the USA, Mbappe demonstrated phenomenal performance. He received the title of top scorer, scoring 10 goals in 8 matches. Prior to this, the active team recorded impressive doubles in matches against Senegal, Iraq, Sweden, as well as in the remarkable third-place final against England, which ended in a defeat of the French with a 6-4 draw.

France, being one of the main favorites for the World Cup, won its group and passed the playoff stages. However, at the final championship in Dallas, Le Bleu lost to the mighty world champions - the national team of Spain (2-0).

" It hurts more, and it hurts for another hour. I write that having won the Golden Boot, it would have a little more meaning, I would like to entrust the Cup to the world. We have given away everything from this story, and we can write about it,” Mbappe told his Instagram.

I will dedicate part of my beast to my teammates. He said that his goals were the result of a strong work on the field: consistent runs, timely passes and an unbreakable team spirit.

The captain also gave in to Didier Deschamps, who lost his job as head coach this month after 14 years in charge of the national team.. Having learned not only from the mentor, but also from other staff - from physiotherapists to cooks and drivers, without them, successful performance in the tournament would be impossible. It turns out that the vacant position of head coach is occupied by the legendary Zinedine Zidane.

For the 27-year-old Kilian Mbappe, this is already the third world championship, and the first with the status of captain of the national team. After the triumph of 2018 and a bitter defeat at the finals of 2022, new evidence of leadership became a special pride for him.

Now the striker is heading to the Real Madrid training camp to prepare for the 2026-27 season. The French national team has recently updated its preparations for the autumn matches of the UEFA National League.

He concluded his post with a note for millions of supporters: “This championship of the world is over, but history is troubling.”. Our expensive bedroom is far from finished"

Guess what, it became known earlier that Neymar entered into a conflict with his Santos teammates after the match with Chapecoense.
