Didier Deschamps and Luis Enrique will perhaps exchange a few phone calls over the next few months. Now, Paris Saint-Germain’s attack with Kylian Mbappé, Randal Kolo Muani and Ousmane Dembélé bears a significant resemblance to that of the French national team. What suggest many automatisms and the development of particular affinities between the club and the selection for these three elements, relatively young in addition.
For the former Nantes player, the trajectory is in any case dazzling. Revealed at La Beaujoire where he scored 23 goals in two seasons, RKM is heading to the Bundesliga, like many young French people. In Frankfurt, the explosion will be immediate for him: third top scorer in the German championship, he is acclaimed by his peers in the famous Kicker magazine as the player who has impressed them the most this season, ahead of a certain Jude Bellingham, who has since left. at Real Madrid.
In addition to discovering the Champions League, Kolo Muani will also have the favors of Didier Deschamps who retains him for the 2022 World Cup. “He has this ease of running, in the dribble, he is able to win, to be in depth, to play on one side or the other, “said the coach about him. It’s hard not to mention his final where the striker came in 2-0 for Argentina before halftime. After launching the revolt and causing many problems for the Albiceleste, he could have been the hero of a whole people but Emiliano Martinez diverted his attempt in the dying seconds of extra time.
Although he was questioned many times about this twist of fate, Kolo Muani continued his march forward and continued to score points with Frankfurt. In search of a versatile striker, capable of both taking depth but also of evolving as a pivot, while being able to play on one side. Finisher, but also passer, RKM presents all the characteristics of the modern attacker, with a fairly complete palette.
The former Canaries player spoke of his new status, which is now expected by opponents, but also by observers. “In one year, a lot has changed. Especially vis-à-vis the outside, the public. In my daily life, I take care not to go out too much, I set up a structure around me with cook, physiotherapist, physical trainer, video… In Nantes, I think I was still too young to have all that . But there, given the turn of my career, it had to be structured, “he confided to L’Équipe last March.
