[Sports Center/Comprehensive Report] The "Three Lions" England and the "Gallic Rooster" defending team France will start the much-anticipated "British-French War" in the top 8. The two teams will meet in the knockout round for the first time.

Regarding how to defend this year's scoring champion Kylian Mbappe, England defender Kyle Walker emphasized in an interview that he will not lay a red carpet for him and let him score easily.

Mbappe is the top scorer of this World Cup in Qatar. He scored twice in the last 16 match against Poland and temporarily ranked first in the number of goals. England will send Premier League Manchester City defender Walker to mark him.

Walker, who has faced Mbappe three times in his career, said frankly that it is easier said than done to keep him, "Be extra careful when facing him, and give him enough respect. We can create some trouble for them and let him Hands and feet were tied."

Walker also emphasized that the "England-France War" is not about England vs. Mbappe, but against the defending champion France. He thinks this will be a difficult game, but one player cannot form a team. A fiery player will not lay out the red carpet for him and let him break through his own gate easily.
