Les Bleus captain back to his best with club future settled, says former France forward
Former France striker Djibril Cisse knows too well the importance of not being distracted, especially ahead of major competitions.
In the build-up to the 2006 World Cup, he suffered a broken leg in Les Bleus' last friendly match against China, ruling him out of the final 23-man squad.
Then, Cisse had been affected by the uncertainty over his club future at Liverpool. The day before his freak injury, English media reported that the player would be offloaded to French side Marseille.
That is why Cisse, 42, believes that a focused Kylian Mbappe will be at his best at Euro 2024.
The France captain had quashed doubts over his future ahead of the continental showpiece by agreeing a five-year deal with Real Madrid on June 3 after leaving Paris SaintGermain.
Cisse, who has 41 caps, told The Straits Times: "I lived this situation when you're not sure about your future. As soon as the situation is sorted in his head, he's going to feel free and very happy that everybody now knows.
