Kylian Mbappé's replacement was at OM!

Thibault Morlain

Journalist

After trying different sports, Thibault turned to a career as an amateur footballer. When making a choice between becoming a professional footballer and a journalist, the qualities tipped the scales to one side. Here he is now in the editorial team of 10 Sport, after a diploma obtained at the International Institute of Communication in .

During the last gathering of the French team, Didier Deschamps had to entrust the captain's armband to a new player. In the absence of Kylian Mbappé and following the international retirement of Antoine Griezmann, it was Aurélien Tchouaméni who took over this responsibility. A role which could, however, have gone to Adrien Rabiot.

Adrien Rabiot took a while before finding a club and signing forABOUT. This then deprived him of the first two gatherings of theFrench team this season. Considered too short physically by Didier Deschamps, Rabiot had therefore not been called for the last two meetings. Too bad for the new Olympian who could then have been captain of the Blues.

“He would have been one of the possibilities”

And Aurélien Tchouaméni therefore recovered the role of captain of theFrench team in the absence of Kylian Mbappéit could have gone to Adrien Rabiot if he had been there. For 1899 The Weeklya relative of Didier Deschamps states: “ He's not a falabrac (laughs) who goes in all directions, he doesn't express himself from morning to night, he's not a Guelard leader but he would have been one of the possibilities if he had been there ».

“When you’re captain of Juve, it’s not nothing! »

« His time in Turin allowed him to live abroad, to express himself in a club where there is competition. He has matured, he is even more capable of scoring and making goals, he had the opportunity to wear the armband. When you're captain of Juve, it's not nothing! », he then confided on Rabiot.

Adrien Rabiot will therefore not have been able to claim the role of captain during the previously gathering of theFrench team. But that may be the case for November. Kylian Mbappé still being absent and Aurélien Tchouaméni hurt, Didier Deschamps will have to hand over the armband to a new player. If we talk about Kanté, Koundé or Konate, Adrien Rabiot can also be a candidate.
