France teammate Ibrahima Konaté delivered a reassuring message about Mbappé on Wednesday, news that perhaps England fans did not want to hear three days before the teams meet in the quarterfinals.

바카라There바카라s nothing worrying. Nothing to make a controversy about,바카라 Konaté said, explaining Mbappé had a recovery session away from the training field on Tuesday 바카라 normal routine two days after a game in the round of 16.

Mbappé바카라s two goals in that 3-1 win over Poland gave him a tournament-leading five at this year바카라s World Cup. He is expected to be closely marked on Saturday by England바카라s fastest defender, Kyle Walker.

바카라Walker is one of the best right backs in the world. I바카라m looking forward to seeing this great battle,바카라 Konaté said of the Manchester City defender, who he knows well from playing for Premier League rival Liverpool.

Now in his second season in the Premier League, Konaté was asked what he had learned from the style of game France will face Saturday at Al Bayt Stadium.

Konaté singled out the need to keep high levels of concentration at all times or 바카라pay in cash바카라 for any mistakes.

The Premier League was also on the mind of France midfielder Adrien Rabiot, who has impressed at the World Cup in Qatar four years after he was not selected in the country바카라s title-winning squad.

바카라I always said that I would like to play in England in my career,바카라 said the Juventus midfielder, who will be 28 when his contract with the Italian club expires at the end of the season.

Rabiot added he had no particular English club in mind, or if he would go next year, just that he was attracted by the league바카라s level of play.

At the age of 13, he spent six months in England with Man City. He described that as a 바카라very good experience.바카라

Rabiot has retruned to the national team after provoking a dispute in 2018 with France coach Didier Deschamps. That spat took two years to resolve, but Rabiot is now back in favor and anchoring the French midfield in Qatar.

바카라He understands me better. He knows my personality better,바카라 Rabiot said. 바카라Today we are much closer.바카라
