​Kylian Mbappé took a swipe at Didier Deschamps’ tactical approach following France’s FIFA World Cup elimination at the hands of Spain.

The Real Madrid superstar appeared to cast doubt on Deschamps’ tactical setup when sharing his assessment of the match.He said, via The Mirror: “We were three against two in midfield and against Spain, that’s hard. Fabian [Ruiz] and Rodri had plenty of time to play.Who is the referee for the Spain vs France FIFA World Cup semifinal?-Credit:MB Media, Getty Images”There was a lack of communication on the press. I think we should have done man-to-man press and force them to run with us.”Before he added: “We didn’t play the game we wanted, technically, tactically. When you don’t do what you have to do in a World Cup semifinal, you don’t win.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisement”Spain respected their game plan and what the team usually does. They like to control the ball and the tempo. Our plan was to press them high so they could not install their rhythm.”Because they are better than us at controlling a game. We didn’t manage to do it. We were too sloppy technically. We could not hurt them when we could have.”Even when we recovered the ball, our first touches were not good enough. That gives a defeat. It is a huge disappointment. But if we are objective, we didn’t put all the ingredients to go to the final.”To listen to the latest episode of ‘All Out Soccer’ – CLICK HEREAdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementDespite the setback, Mbappé ‘s teammate Rayan Cherki insisted France remain a ‘better team’ than Spain, stating: “They were better in every aspect of the game. They wanted it more than we did. I am convinced that we are the better team, but this afternoon they were superior.”They did not apply excessive pressure, it wasn’t all over the pitch; there was time to play. Maybe we didn’t know how to control our emotions.”Before adding: “I don’t know if we lacked solutions or desire. Today, they recovered possession more easily than we did. If we had won back more balls, we would have hurt them more.”At halftime, the coach told us there were still 50 minutes left and that we would have chances. The disappointment is enormous. We knew their main strength was playing at a slow pace. Sometimes, we should have done the same.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisement”It was more difficult than we expected. I tried to help push the comeback. I don’t think it was a lack of desire. They were better than us tactically, better positioned. We tried to solve those problems. We are in a World Cup semifinal; everything comes down to the details.”
