Many people think that he's too interested in what he, that it's all about him rather than about the team.
So he's changed his attitude for that.
You might have noticed something as well.
He has scored a few goals at this World Cup, which is not the thing you should have, which you haven't noticed.
It's also the way he's celebrated it.
He hasn't used this trademark celebration, you know, the one...
with the crossed arms and so forth, he's actually celebrated like, well, apart from one very, quite cringe moment where he referred to a James Corden thing, I mean, with his flute and that was terrible.
But the rest of the time, he actually, he didn't celebrate as if he was celebrated a goal for Kylian Mbappe, he celebrated as if when it was a goal for France.
And these are things which matter.
He's also come to great lengths to ingratiate himself with public opinion.
He did a huge interview, I don't know if you can come across that, because he really does interviews one-to-one with Le Parisien in France, in which he was answering questions which had been put to him by people from the team, by some people who were quite close to him, people who had a role to play within the French national team, which is fascinating because it was genuinely a PR exercise.
And he was saying nice things about everybody.
So he's aware of the fact that there have been some, I mean, quite a few people have been grumbling about the way he approached his role at Real Literature, of course, but also with the French national team.
And it's working for him.
I find him much more engaged now.
You were talking about Erling Haaland sprinting 30 yards on the No Hope mission, which in the end is not the No Hope mission.
but I've noticed the same thing from Beppe he has also done some covering runs which I haven't seen him do very often he's looking much more engaged when he has the ball and much more alert to what is happening around him so which is a good sign both for him and for the French national team because
I still believe that the position in which he plays at the moment for Deschamps is not the right position for him in the French national team, given the qualities of the players around him, despite the fact that he scored all these goals.
I still think that he would be better on the wing, giving Dembélé, who's having a tough tournament, a chance to play down the middle, Desiree Dwayne on the right, and Michael Olissé as a number 10.
And I think that is an absolute clear leap.
