DOHA, Dec 8 ― France will not focus on any particular player when they take on England in a mouth-watering World Cup quarter-final on Saturday, defender Ibrahima Konate said.
“Kane is a great player. I've played against him several times,” Liverpool centre back Konate told a news conference yesterday. “Soccer is not played with one, two or four players. We have to talk about the collective, how to mess with them collectively. It's the coach's job to show us what we don't see.”
On the other hand, Kylian Mbappe has scored five of France's nine goals with Olivier Giroud netting three, making the threats more identifiable for England coach Gareth Southgate.“We're not dependent on Kylian. We just know that 80-90 per cent of our goals will come from him as he can also deliver assists, and our job is to put him in the best conditions for that,” the Juventus player, the only other French player to score in Qatar, said.
