Summary
- Arsene Wenger believes Kylian Mbappe is unfairly targeted at Real Madrid.
- Wenger predicts Mbappe will shine at the upcoming World Cup.
- France is considered the favorite to win the World Cup, per Wenger.
Arsene Wenger has voiced strong support for Kylian Mbappe, asserting that the Real Madrid forward has been unfairly scrutinized during his tenure. Wenger suggests Mbappe has been made a scapegoat for a Real Madrid team that no longer possesses the same dominance as in previous years.
Wenger believes Mbappe's situation offers an advantage for France in the upcoming World Cup. He noted that Mbappe is physically fresh, not overworked from a long European season, which contrasts with many players who arrive exhausted.
The former Arsenal manager also considers France to be the leading contenders for the World Cup. He cited their deep talent pool and the extensive experience of head coach Didier Deschamps as key factors that give them an edge over other nations.
Despite any recent individual goal droughts, Wenger is confident in Mbappe's ability to perform under pressure at the World Cup. He highlighted the player's strong character and past successes in major tournaments, including 2018 and 2022.
