France coach Didier Deschamps enthused over the attacking
versatility of teenage starlet Kylian Mbappe as Les Bleus look to secure World
Cup qualification this weekend.
Deschamps's
team face Bulgaria and Belarus in their final two World Cup qualifiers, knowing
a pair of victories would book France's ticket to Russia.
The
pacey Mbappe has mostly operated as a central striker or, similar to former
French star forward Thierry Henry, on the left side of a front three during his
short career.
But
Deschamps believes he can perform equally well on the right, where he's been
positioned for new club Paris Saint-Germain this season.
"He's
doing great things with Paris. He's playing lots of matches and confirming what
he'd shown at Monaco (last season), while improving," said Deschamps.
"He's
more on the right at Paris, although with a lot of freedom.
