Mbappe can't do it all, says Deschamps after defeat

France coach Didier Deschamps said Kylian Mbappe needs more support from his teammates after Les Bleus lost 2-0 to Denmark in Nations League Group Al on Sunday.

Mbappe, who scored in a 2-0 win over Austria on Thursday, forced Danish goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel into a couple of saves but was unable to get on the scoresheet as Kasper Dolberg and Andreas Skov Olsen gave the hosts victory.

"Kylian did a lot of good things," said Deschamps. "He is one of the few players who has played two 90-minute games in three days.

"He can't do everything by himself either. He was more decisive, like the whole team, three days ago, but it does not worry me.

"I'm not going to worry about Kylian. He also needs the others." While there have been rumblings about Mbappe's relationship with fellow Paris Saint-Germain stars Lionel Messi and particularly Brazilian Neymar, the 35-year-old heaped praise on the Frenchman while on international duty with Argentina.

Messi told TUDN Mexico: "Kylian is a different player, a beast who is very strong in one-on-one, who goes into space, who is very fast, who scores a lot of goals.
