🚨 Mbappé Argentina Got Too Much Help Spain Will Take the World Cup If It’s Fair:

🗣Reporter: Hello Mbappé, how are you doing? How are you preparing for the match against England?

🗣Mbappé: I’m doing well, thank you. We’re preparing for this match against England as seriously and professionally as possible. Personally, I’m focused on performing at my highest level and aiming to finish as the tournament's top scorer.

As for Argentina, I think they should go home empty-handed. We all saw how they played in this competition and how much the officiating worked in their favour. For the World Cup, I’m confident that if it’s a truly free and fair tournament, Spain will take the title from them.

Diego Simeone on Jude Bellingham scoring 7 FIFA World Cup goals for England and becoming the highest-scoring midfielder in World Cup history.

🗣️ “Seven World Cup goals as a midfielder… that’s not normal. Jude Bellingham isn’t waiting for history to find him he’s writing it himself.”

“People talk about his talent, but they don’t talk enough about his mentality. He attacks every match like a warrior. He runs, he fights, he leads, and when England need a goal, he arrives in the box like a world-class striker.”

“To become the highest-scoring midfielder in World Cup history is extraordinary because midfielders aren’t supposed to dominate tournaments like this. Jude has completely changed that conversation.”

“What impresses me most is his personality. He never hides, never stops demanding the ball and never looks afraid of the biggest moments. That’s why defenders hate facing him.”

“England have found a leader for the next decade. Records come and go, but players with this mentality are incredibly rare. Seven World Cup goals from midfield is the mark of a special footballer, and if he keeps improving, he’ll leave a legacy that future generations will struggle to match.”

🇫🇷 France coach: Didier Deschamps on considering resting Kylian Mbappé for the clash against England.

“I wanted to rest Kylian Mbappé against England today so some of the other players could get an opportunity. But Mbappé refused.
He told me, ‘No, coach. I want to play. I want to score. I want to finish as the World Cup’s top scorer and break the tournament’s goal-scoring record this year. I’m still hungry for more.’
After hearing that, we changed our plans. Today, every attack will be built around Mbappé. Every ball goes to him. We’ll do everything we can to help him score a hat-trick.”

🚨 Mikel Arteta on Thomas Tuchel’s Performance vs Argentina:

🎙️ Reporter: "If you were in Thomas Tuchel's position, what would you have done differently to get a win for England?

Mikel: 🗣️ I could have made the same changes he made against Argentina, and any other coach would have done the same. It is not his fault. This is simply what happens when you face Messi.

But I will never wish that for myself - to play against Messi or even Ronaldo. The challenge I have here with Arsenal is more than enough ( laughs).
