🗣️ Mbappé says France knew how to play dirty: We got in their heads Kylian Mbappé was one of the standout figures in  Saturday’s (4) Paraguay vs. France match. Responsible for the goal that sent the French national team through, the Real Madrid forward also stood out in the “dark arts” department. One of France’s missions was not to fall for Paraguay’s mind games. And Mbappé drew attention with his attitude at several moments during the clash in Philadelphia. He even made sure to say that France knows how to “play dirty” when necessary. " They thought we would come onto the pitch in tuxedos, playing beautiful football. But no. We also know how to play dirty football ," he said after the match. The No. 10 praised France’s “mental game” in a clash full of tension. In the star’s view, it was a victory on and off the pitch:  " If we need to get our hands dirty, we will. Even in dirty play, we were better.  They tried to unsettle us, but we were the ones who got into their heads ." Mbappé’s France will face Morocco next Thursday (9), with a place in the FIFA World Cup semifinals at stake.  This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.
