Gareth Southgate would face the greatest dilemma of his coaching career as he attempts to devise a strategy to stop the “sensational” Mbappé and lead the Three Lions to a third consecutive semi-final at major tournaments. OLUWAMAYOMIKUN OREKOYA provides a report.

Tonight, when England play France in the quarterfinals at the Al Bayt Stadium in Doha, Qatar, they will face one of the world’s most gifted footballers.

Kylian Mbappé has already etched his name into the annals of world football at the tender age of 23.

He has already won a World Cup, having led his country to ultimate victory in 2018 at the age of 19, scoring four goals in the process.

Four years later, the young sensation from a small Parisian suburb has matured into a truly terrifying striker, scoring the most goals in Qatar’s tournament after just four games.

Now it is up to Gareth Southgate’s squad to stop France’s golden boy, who appears to be confidently marching toward a second consecutive World Cup.

As he tries to devise a way to stop the “sensational” Mbappé and lead the Three Lions to a third consecutive semi-final at a major tournament, the England head coach would face the greatest challenge of his tenure.

But how does one defeat a player with Mbappé’s lethal combination of electric speed, balletic skill, and clinical finishing?

Mbappé scored in each of his three starts en route to the quarterfinals, and Poland defender Matty Cash summed up the conundrum posed by Mbappé after the Paris Saint-Germain forward’s brilliant two goals in France’s 3-1 last-16 victory on Sunday.

Cash stated, “I didn’t know whether to drop off or tighten up.” “When I went tight he just spun in behind. When he receives the ball, stops, and begins to move, he is the fastest thing I have ever seen.

“He is on another level. Observe the swiftness and mobility of his finishing. Mbappé, who played an integral role in France’s World Cup victory in Russia, is the most feared player in the tournament.

The 23-year-old has scored five goals in four games in Qatar, and his nine career World Cup goals are tied with Lionel Messi of Argentina and one more than Cristiano Ronaldo of Portugal.

Now, Southgate must take the difficult Mbappé exam.

“As you can see, he is a world-class player who consistently delivers in crucial moments. That is what these elite athletes do. This is the difficulty we face, said Southgate.

What measures will Southgate take to counter Mbappé’s threat? One solution would be to switch England’s 4-3-3 formation to a 3-4-3 or 3-5-2 system, which would allow Kyle Walker to supplement the central defence by moving from right back.

Southgate is concerned that the quick Mbappé and Ousmane Dembele will exploit the slowness of defender Harry Maguire by running at him. While moving Walker would help Maguire, it would expose Southgate to new allegations that he is a negative coach who is more concerned with stifling the opposition than allowing his own stars to shine.

Southgate was heavily criticised after his return to a 3-4-3 formation in the Euro 2020 final against Italy resulted in a lacklustre performance and a loss by penalty kicks.

In lieu of altering his formation, Southgate may draw inspiration from Walker’s performance in the first leg of Manchester City’s Champions League semi-final victory over Mbappé’s PSG in 2017.

Pep Guardiola instructed Walker to muzzle Mbappé from right-back, and Walker’s disciplined performance prevented the star from scoring.

Gary Neville, a former England defender, said of Walker’s chances of subduing Mbappé, “I can’t think of another right-back in the world that I’d want to pit against him.” “Kyle will approach him because he is faster than the Polish defenders. Not necessarily will Kyle mark him out of the game. This is an extraordinary player, the new best in the world.”

Mbappé, like many other athletic superstars, comes from modest beginnings. The French prodigy was born to a Cameroonian father and an Algerian mother, and he grew up in the banlieues of Bondy, a small suburban commune located just nine kilometres from the centre of Paris.

Bondy, despite its close proximity to the city centre, lacks the grandeur and wealth of the Champs-Élysées.

It is part of the infamous Seine St. Denis 93rd arrondissement, one of the poorest neighbourhoods in France with a reputation for astronomical crime rates and violence. However, football provides hope to a select group of talented and hardworking youngsters from the year 1993.

Mbappé’s father Wilfried was a coach for local club AS Bondy, a team in the 10th division of French football.

Wilfried placed a pair of football boots on his five-year-old son Kylian’s feet and took him to his first training session, recognising the opportunity that awaited him.

Ronan Boscher, a French football journalist, asserts that within four years, Mbappé knew he was destined to become one of the world’s best players and that he and his family had devised a strategy to get there.

Mbappé may have been introduced to football by Wilfried, but his mother, Fayza Lamari, was a professional handball player who played for the French national team and was intimately familiar with the rigours behind top-level sport.

Together, Mbappé’s parents acted as his agents and representatives, negotiating deals and guiding his ascent to the top division of French football.

Under the guidance of his parents, Mbappé’s ruthlessness was not limited to the football field.

He is a shrewd negotiator when it comes to behind-the-scenes deals and is acutely aware of both his football and commercial value.

Mbappé, who had already established himself as PSG’s star player, threatened to transfer to Real Madrid earlier this year.

His ruthless negotiating tactics compelled PSG to offer their beloved striker a staggering salary package to convince him to remain.

Mbappé will earn over £547,000,000 in gross salary over the course of three years, making him the highest-paid athlete ever.

Who is going to win the World Cup?

Kashef’s accuracy rate at the 2022 World Cup is 67% after 58 matches.

After a brief lapse during the group stage’s abundance of upsets, he correctly predicted seven of the eight games in the last 16 matches.

Kashef reruns the model after each match to predict the outcome of the next game, all the way through the championship match.

Predicting match outcomes is difficult because external factors such as team morale and player fitness have a significant impact on the outcome.

England Vs France ; Which team is performing better?

England advanced to the round of 16 with seven points after defeating Wales 3-0 in their final group match, having drawn 0-0 with the United States and beaten Iran 6-2 in their opening match.

After a difficult first 30 minutes, England cruised to a 3-0 victory over Senegal in the round of 16 to advance to the quarterfinals. Twelve goals have been scored by Southgate’s squad, while only two have been allowed.

France secured a spot in the round of 16 after just two group games thanks to victories over Australia (4-1) and Denmark (2-1). Didier Deschamps made nine changes to his starting lineup for France’s final group match, but still suffered a shocking 1-0 loss to Tunisia.
