Didye Desham will use the remaining Mbappe at the IRQCHI Respect Center
The French national team's captain, Kylian Mbappé, remained at the center of a racial controversy after being targeted by offensive remarks from a Paraguayan politician, as reported by Zamin.uz.
Despite this, head coach Didier Deschamps confirmed the emotional state of his star player and stated that Mbappé is fully prepared for upcoming important matches. This tense situation emerged following France’s goalless draw against Paraguay.
According to Goal.com, the incident began after France’s 0-0 draw with Paraguay, during which Mbappé scored the only goal from a penalty kick.
After the match, Paraguayan senator Celeste Amarilla posted highly offensive and sharp comments on social media regarding Mbappé’s appearance and intellect.
In her statement, the politician referred to Mbappé as a “naturalized Cameroonian pretending to be French” and belittled him with various derogatory terms. She also urged Paraguayan players to use physical force against Mbappé in future encounters.
Such statements were strongly condemned by global football authorities and the French Football Federation. The Real Madrid forward did not remain silent in the face of these unfounded criticisms.
Kylian Mbappé responded firmly on his social media platform, stating that Senator Celeste Amarilla deserves hatred and is unworthy of her position.
He emphasized that she does not represent the Paraguayan people, who fought with courage and honor during the match. Mbappé added that her actions not only disrespect him but also undermine the effort of the Paraguayan national team on the field.
In his view, the senator’s irresponsibility and open racism have led the world to judge not the actions of Paraguayan players on the pitch, but rather a negative image of her own country.
Didier Deschamps, speaking at a press conference, addressed Mbappé’s condition, affirming the player’s strong mental state.
According to the coach, Mbappé is in excellent psychological shape and fully ready for the next match. Such external provocations have had no impact on the team’s camp or the captain’s readiness.
Currently, Kylian Mbappé is tied for second in the Golden Boot race with seven goals, alongside Erling Haaland. The list is led by Lionel Messi with eight goals.
The French forward’s main goal is to lead his team to victory in the upcoming championship and to respond to all critics through his performance on the field.
For Uzbek football fans, Mbappé’s current situation remains in the spotlight, as he is regarded as one of the biggest stars in modern football.
At a time when the fight against racism continues globally, Mbappé’s dignity and firmness in this situation have earned widespread admiration. The football world hopes that, despite such unpleasant incidents, the principles of sport and mutual respect will prevail.
Every move Mbappé makes on the pitch is now watched even more closely.
