Everyone has their theory, but we are still waiting to have an official version. Last October, Kylian Mbappé, the captain of the France team, asked his national coach not to be summoned for the rally in order to be able to breathe a little while he had just returned from a problem. physical with Real Madrid. A request accepted by Didier Deschamps, which led to a small trip to Sweden, the consequences of which we now know and which could end up in court if the rape complaint is confirmed.
“I think it’s a sanction from Deschamps”
We therefore expected to see the French striker make his return in November, but again, he was not present. Deschamps, very discreet about the reasons for this choice, preferred to take the lead in front of the media, affirming that this time it was his choice. Sanction or joint decision, everyone has their own opinion, and Bixente Lizarazu, the former teammate of “DD” in the Blues, sees it as a sanction: “We just understood that Kylian Mbappé wanted to come, so I interpret it as a sanction, compared to the previous training session where he said he was injured, but that he played with Real Madrid and that he did this getaway to Sweden next. I think it's a sanction from Deschamps who simply didn't appreciate this sequence. I think he wanted to show it and give him this message“, he explained on the microphone of Telefoot. We are now waiting for a new speech from the national coach.
