Mbappé says he will boost defensive responsibility for World Cup

Kylian Mbappé, the French forward, discussed his preparation for the World Cup, acknowledging the criticism he faced after a title‑less season and his desire to leave his goal drought behind. He emphasized the need to be more aggressive when his team does not have the ball, announcing extra training sessions and noting that feedback from his brother Ethan has helped his personal development.

Mbappé believes this adjustment will raise France's overall performance and increase their chances of securing a second world championship.
