Mbappe admitted he plays with more freedom in France’s attacking line compared to that of PSG.
Paris Saint-Germain’s different tactical approach compared to France doesn’t mean Kylian Mbappe plays with less freedom, according to Christophe Galtier.
In the absence of Karim Benzema, Olivier Giroud paired up with Mbappe for France‘s final two games in the Nations League group stage.
The PSG star admitted he felt “a lot more freedom” when playing for the national team. Galtier admits his side needs a fourth forward up front but believes playing alongside Lionel Messi and Neymar doesn’t limit Mbappe’s freedom on the pitch.
“I don’t think he has less freedom,” Galtier said ahead of PSG’s upcoming league clash against Nice. “With Giroud, he has someone who opens up spaces for him.
“We don’t have that player profile but he’s just as smart to find other moves with Leo and Neymar giving him the ball in his preferred space.
“Kylian’s analysis is correct. He’s not in the same system for his club and national team. This is a discussion I’ve had with the president and Luis Campos about our attack.
“We were all convinced we needed a fourth player in that position with a different profile, but that player did not come [in the transfer window]. It’s a shame but that’s how it is.
“The technical relationship between Neymar, Leo and Kylian is different to what he has with the national team.”
