Pakistan, Sept. 22 -- Kylian Mbappe described working under Zinedine Zidane as France coach as "like a film" after their relationship began 15 years ago. Zidane first met Mbappe when the forward attended a trial with Real Madrid's youth teams. He later helped take the teenage Mbappe to the club's training complex during his early career.

Now, Zidane has replaced Didier Deschamps as France coach and will lead Les Bleus for the first time against Turkey. Mbappe said the change feels remarkable after Zidane played an important role during his early connection with Real Madrid. "Now he's my national team coach. It's like a film, but it's amazing. It's real," Mbappe said.
