Hungry for sport, he grew up to the sound of Formula 1 engines and the exploits of Ronaldinho. Today, with a Master's degree in sports journalism, he no longer misses an Grand Prix or a PSG match, his two passions and specialties.

As during the previous gathering, Kylian Mbappé still did not appear on the list of players selected by Didier Deschamps for the last two matches of the year against Israel and Italy. This time, it is a choice of the coach of the team who would have made his decision the day before to disclose his list and the Real Madrid striker would have been informed only a few hours before.

As during the previous gathering of the France team, Kylian Mbappé was still not on the list of Didier Deschamps to play the last two matches of the Blues this year against Israel (0-0) and theItaly (3-1). Unlike the gathering in October, during which the player of the Real Madrid had claimed an injury which did not prevent him from playing with his club, this time, it seems to be a choice of Didier Deschamps.

Deschamps decided at the last moment for Mbappé

A choice which would also have been validated at the last minute. According to information from Parisian, Didier Deschamps effectively ratified its decision the day before the announcement of its list. Kylian Mbappé as for him, he would have been notified the next day, only a few hours before the coach made the news official during his press conference. The 1998 world champion's idea was to leave his captain off for this last meeting of the year, especially since the next one will take place in March.

“Kylian wanted to come”

Nevertheless, during his famous press conferenceDidier Deschamps had refused to explain his decision, contenting himself with assuring that “ Kylian wanted to come ”, before specifying that “ It's better that way, I'm not going to argue “. No further explanation, which did not prevent the coach from defending his captain after the victory against Italy: “ I know that in life there can be negative people, twisted people. But stop! (…) If you want to talk about Kylian again, it’s complicated for him, leave him alone, I am convinced that he will regain full possession of his means ».
