'You make Mbappe seem like a dictator': France coach after win over Paraguay

France's national football team defeated Paraguay 1-0 in the Round of 16 of the FIFA World Cup, securing a spot in the quarter-finals. The match was tightly contested, with neither team managing any shots on target in the first half. Kylian Mbappe scored the decisive penalty in the 66th minute, converting it calmly after Desire Doue won the foul. Despite France's dominance in possession, they faced challenges breaking through Paraguay's defensive line. Coach Didier Deschamps addressed criticisms of Mbappe's leadership style, defending him against claims that he had become too authoritarian as captain. He emphasized that Mbappe's public image did not align with his behavior within the team. The match included moments of tension, such as a challenge on Mbappe that led to a confrontation between players, though Deschamps noted that the team handled the situation effectively. France will now face Morocco in the quarter-finals.
