After an international break during which he worked with Real Madrid while following the performances of the Blues, Kylian Mbappé knows that his status has changed in France.
We don't know how Kylian Mbappé's 2024 with Real Madrid will end, but we are not far from being able to talk about a a terrible year for the former PSG player, who went from being the idol of an entire country to a player and a man widely criticized in France. Two years after his incredible World Cup with the Blues and the legendary final against Argentina, the 25-year-old footballer is going through a very tough period, even though Didier Deschamps is wondering about the possibility of leaving him the captain's armband of the Blues after two absences during the last two regroupings of the Tricolores. Even if the national coach strongly supported Kylian Mbappé, doubt exists and even on the side of rugby, a sport widely compared to football since this weekend, we are directly talking about an Mbappé problem.
Mbappé back in March with France
Former player of the French XV, and twice French rugby champion, Vincent Moscato is now better known for his talk show on RMC and his role as an actor. But his opinion on the Kylian Mbappé case is quite sober, where Moscato often gets carried away to the delight of the listeners of his show. “ If Kylian Mbappé can be captain of the France team upon his return? I don't think so. He didn't leave the group due to injury or being the charismatic leader or being suspended. There, there was still an average story that Didier Deschamps had difficulty coping with. This spoiled his last matches a little, with this story in Sweden. At one point, Deschamps made a choice not to take it and he started from scratch. »
“In my opinion, Mbappé will not be captain. After a while, the captain must be a leader of the game, that when others look at him, they understand that he is the leader, like Dupont with rugby. He must already be exemplary, there on the pitch, we cannot say that he is in the best part of his career. He's not in the best part of his life either. If Deschamps gives him the armband again, he changes his mind. It's not closed for him obviously, this choice must be made », Explains the former rugby player.
