The man who guided Les Bleus to global glory in Russia has saluted the progress being made by an exciting teenage forward at Paris Saint-Germain
Kylian Mbappe is a better player at 19 than Thierry Henry was at the same stage, says France boss and 1998 World Cup winner Didier Deschamps.
The former midfielder joined an exclusive club this summer when he guided Les Bleus to global glory in Russia, becoming only the third man after Mario Zagallo and Franz Beckenbauer to achieve that feat as a player and manager.
Key to the most recent of those successes was the form of Paris Saint-Germain forward Mbappe, with the teenager making light of his limited experience to become a talismanic presence.
