The full-strength lineup—Deschamps says Mbappé has fully recovered

At the World Cup semifinal pre-match press conference, Deschamps addressed concerns about Mbappé’s ankle injury from the outside world, clearly stating that he has made a 100% recovery and that his condition fully meets the standard.

He will play in the semifinal as usual—France’s confidence in defending the title is rock solid!

What you’re afraid of isn’t the ice pack—it’s the broadcast camera.

The moment Mbappé sat down on the bench, with his ankle wrapped tightly, and the image just went live, French fans’ phones seemed to shake almost collectively—everyone knew that the player who had just sent Morocco back home 2-0 was this 22-year-old’s top-rate star.

First he conceded a penalty, then scored with a world-class goal to break through, and then provided an assist to make it 2-0—after that, in one defensive recovery, he was knocked on the ankle by the opponent, and at the 77th minute Deschamps substituted him off.

With about a dozen minutes left in the match and only a few days until the semifinal, putting ice on at this point is at a scare-level for any title-contending team.

But from the sidelines details, everything about him was “nothing’s wrong.”

When he came off, he high-fived Dembélé, then sat down and started icing immediately. At the same time, he took an energy gel handed over by the staff and took a bite—his expression was calm. There was no grimacing from pain, nor the kind of footage where he walks with a noticeable limp.

What truly magnified the panic was the close-up camera shot plus the caption: “Mbappé’s ankle is swollen?” “The semifinal is in doubt.” Twitter hot searches shot up one after another, while in China, football fans on forums were posting and stacking threads within minutes—speculating whether it was a sprain or whether he’d been kicked.

From a fan’s perspective, this kind of anxiety escalation is completely normal—because for France this tournament, almost all the attacking imagination at the front end is pinned on him.

The dramatic tension of this match against Morocco was actually planted from the very first penalty he won.

In the first half, he drew a penalty and stood at 12 yards—but it was saved by Bono.

The live comments immediately blared, “It’s over, his mindset is about to break”—and it was realistic: it was the first penalty he missed in his World Cup career, happening in the first half-hour, in the knockout stage.

After a mistake like this, many forwards would naturally avoid the ball in the second half, afraid of becoming the next focal point.

Yet Mbappé’s response was completely the opposite: not silence, not a safe pass—he fired a world-class goal that was worthy of being included in the highlights.

At the 60th minute, he received the ball at the top of the arc in the box. He barely made extra adjustments, and with his right foot he curled it smoothly.

The ball traced the inside of the right post and drilled straight into the corner of the net—rewriting the score to 1-0.

The cleanliness of that goal was so striking that people even forgot he had just missed a penalty.

When he ran to celebrate by the corner flag, he pulled down the left arm guard to the elbow and roared at the camera. Even Giroud on the bench slapped his thigh directly. The emotion was simple: the absolute core has already filled the pit he dug moments ago.

And in that moment, Deschamps’ post-match line—“Mbappé never has to worry about goals when he’s on the pitch”—no longer sounded like a formality. It felt like it just gained a fresh footnote.

The story didn’t stop at 1-0.

Just 6 minutes later, Dembélé burst forward on the right. When Mbappé got the ball, he deliberately let it go slightly toward the side; the ball naturally rolled to Dembélé’s feet. He then fired a low shot into the far corner, and the score became 2-0.

This small bit of “a little give way” showed both his vision and completed a full loop from error to locking down the win: from missing the penalty to scoring his own world-class goal, and then to assisting a teammate to break the net—everything compressed into roughly that half-hour in the second half. Calling it a textbook-level self-redemption would not be an exaggeration.

After 2-0, the match entered France’s comfort zone, and his ankle knock looked even more like a dangerous little interlude meant to make everyone worry.

During a defensive recovery challenge, he was hit on the ankle by a Morocco defender. He stumbled but didn’t fall to the ground. That moment, combined with the icing afterward, is what made the outside world start to get sensitive.

Deschamps’ response was extremely fast—he directly signaled to bring on Mateta.

Considering the score was already 2-0 and the match time had entered its final stretch, this substitution looked like a typical protective move no matter how you looked at it: the top star didn’t need to take any further risk, and later, bringing on a forward who was more suited to sprinting and easier on the body made it possible to consume time.

What really gave fans peace of mind was the two-part reaction after the match.

One came from Deschamps.

At the press conference, he first laughed, then clearly issued the diagnosis: “Kylian’s ankle hurts a bit, but it’s nothing serious. Play in the semifinal.” Those words instantly pulled the fans’ tense emotions back down to earth.

The French fan groups directly started posting fireworks emoji packs—the emotional contrast was just as big as the stretch on the pitch from missing the penalty to scoring the world-class goal.

The other came from Mbappé himself. In the mixed zone, he explained that during a challenge, the opponent kicked his ankle; later, with the next fifteen minutes, Mateta was more suitable for pressing/sprinting, and it was also fine for him to come off and rest a bit. As he spoke, he even bounced his foot on purpose, using his actions to prove there was really nothing wrong.
