Usman Dembélé publicly defended Kylian Mbappé against criticism

Usman Dembélé has publicly defended Kylian Mbappé against criticism, emphasizing that the Real Madrid player is often subjected to unfair criticism. Dembélé said: "People are too harsh on him. We often focus too much on criticism of Kylian, while he is a great player. Mbappé is a great person off the field, I have known him for a long time. Sometimes, people criticize him too much. Just because it is Kylian Mbappé. There is no need to be too strict with him. If he wants, let him tie his shoelaces. If he doesn't want to, it's okay. He can adjust his socks or let them fall. All of that is really excessive! Mbappé is first a human being, and then he is our leader, the captain of the French team and an extremely important player for us," - Dembélé shared on social network X.
