How France can deploy Mbappé against Senegal at the World Cup

France’s game plan against Senegal centers on exploiting Kylian Mbappé’s speed and finishing ability. Coach Didier Deschamps wants the forward to stretch the play wide and make penetrating runs behind the defense.

Midfield will focus on quick ball circulation to feed Mbappé with clear-cut opportunities, while a compact back line preserves defensive balance. The approach seeks to combine attacking flair with disciplined defending.
