“It could be a sanction”
« Is there really a Kylian Mbappé problem? Obviously, since the coach does not give these explanations, we try to look for them. It could be a sanction first of all, since we remember the episode in October where Didier Deschamps wanted to summon Kylian Mbappé. He didn't do it since he was told he was injured. Then finally, we found the 2018 world champion Kylian Mbappé running two days later on the Real Madrid pitch. It's an event that Didier Deschamps did not appreciate “, declared Fabrice Hawkins on the set of BFMTV.
“Is he depressed? We can use this word »

Is he depressed? We can use this word. Kylian Mbappé found himself in a situation a few weeks ago, he no longer wanted to come to the France team. Not because he doesn't like the France team, but it was really difficult what's happening at the moment. He was convinced in particular by those around him and he agreed to come in November. It was Didier Deschamps, he repeated it, who noted the fact that Kylian Mbappé was not coming to the France team, but it is true that it is difficult for him. There are several factors that can explain this. Things are going less well than hoped at Real Madrid where the fans expect a lot from him. At Paris Saint-Germain there is this dispute between him and the club over unpaid wages, we are talking about €55 million. So he has all this a little bit in his head. And then we must not forget, and we see it, his popularity is declining, he is a little less unanimous, he is enormously criticized. So all of this weighs on his shoulders and it’s true that he is much less morally well.. »
