Kylian Mbappe is one of the players rich in technique and speed, ranked number 1 in the world at the moment. Defenders, no matter how experienced, are still very shy when facing a striker born in 1998. It cannot be denied that there are people who can stop Mbappe in certain situations, but to be recognized by this striker for his defensive ability, not everyone can do it.
Recently, Mbappe revealed that he was afraid to face a teammate on the French team. Quite surprisingly, the person named by the PSG striker as a player no one expected was Jean Clair Todibo. Speaking to French Football Weekly, Mbappe shared: “Todibo is the only person who can stop me in training sessions.” Not only on the French team, Mbappe probably also experienced this every time PSG had to clash with Nice in Ligue 1.
Jean Clair Todibo is the number 1 target at MU’s winter market in January next year, in the context that the Old Trafford team’s defense is facing a crisis in terms of strength and achievements. With Mbappe’s recent statement, perhaps Erik Ten Hag is urging the team’s leadership to bring this player back from Nice as soon as possible.
Jean Clair Todibo is one of four central defenders called up to the French team in the Euro 2024 qualifying campaign, but he will have to compete with players who have had seniority in the national team such as Upamecano, Lucas Hernandez, and Konate. , Saliba or even Raphael Varane. With Les Bleus officially having tickets to Germany, there is no exception to the possibility that Didier Deschamps will give Todibo a chance in the next two matches.
