After having taken note of the exchanges between the medical staff of the Parisian club and that of the Team of France, Didier Deschamps recorded the package of Presnel Kimpembe ”, indicates the press release of the FFF.
During his press conference, the coach mentioned the last half-hearted performances of Presnel Kimpembé. “He knows the consequences like the last one in Leipzig yesterday. He knows he is responsible. OK Kimpembe is not doing everything well, but he is one of those who follow the match. Maybe a little too much. But Mauricio Pochettino also has his goals and he lines up the team to win. Presnel may have less good periods. There are things he can improve. Because of what he does in the sequence, he may be less good. I also look at the positive part, more important than the negative. What he brings to the Blues is important. But he gets carried away a little too much in some duels. It can avoid some mistakes or some boxes. But that's because he likes duels. "
He will be able to heal himself and rest.
