Iraq coach thinks of 3 goalkeepers to stop Mbappe!

Stopping Kylian Mbappe is one of the toughest challenges in modern football. Even the world's best defenders and coaches find various strategies to stop the French star. But Iraq coach Graham Arnold has come up with an exceptional 'solution' to stop him - expressing his desire to play three goalkeepers at once!

Iraq will face powerful France in the second match of Group 'I' at 3 pm Bangladesh time. Arnold jokingly said at the press conference before the match, "I asked, can we play three goalkeepers at once? But they did not allow it."

Mbappe, the 2022 World Cup Golden Boot winner, is already setting records one after another in international football. He has surpassed the legendary Pele in the number of goals in the World Cup and is rapidly advancing in the list of the tournament's all-time top scorers. At the same time, he now holds the record for the highest scorer for France.

Iraq goalkeeper and captain Jalal Hassan conceded four goals in their last 4-1 defeat to Norway. As a result, Arnold has not yet made a final decision on who will man the goalposts in the crucial match against France.

The Iraqi coach said, "We do not control how France will play. But we can control our own performance. I want my players to go out on the field and show the world what they are capable of."

On the other hand, Mbappe is at the center of discussion in the France camp. When he takes the field against Iraq, he will touch the milestone of playing his 100th international match in the France jersey.

Commenting on this achievement, Mbappe said, "Playing for the national team is always a special feeling. There is nothing greater than representing your country. Playing 100 matches for France is a historic moment, and if it is at the World Cup stage, it becomes even more memorable."
