The absence of Kylian Mbappé for the Blues' two matches against Israel and Italy risks leaving its mark.
Kylian Mbappé fell from a height on Thursday when Didier Deschamps announced the list of the French team for the two Nations League matches which are to be played in the coming days against Israel and Italy. Because contrary to what the French coach suggested at a press conference, the French striker, whose discomfort is increasingly palpable, did not expect his absence.
« He finished his training on the day of the announcement, Thursday at 12:45 p.m., and he left the Real training center around 1:15 p.m. At that moment, he is sure that he is going to be in the French team, because there is nothing that says that he should not be there. Daniel Riolo told RMC, adding: “He didn't ask not to be there, unlike the time before. He is sure to be there, there is no subject, except that he learns 30 minutes later that he is not in the French team. »
Kylian Mbappé disinterested in the Blues
And for Jérôme Rothen, the strong choice of Didier Deschamps should not remain without consequences in the relationship between the coach of the France team and his captain. “We will have to deal with everything that this decision will leave as a trace”, he said after explaining that the 1998 world champion had completely regained power.
“The proof is that we are starting to hear a little bit of a problem from the Mbappé clan, saying that he was not happy, that he was surprised, and that now he is even bordering on focusing more on Real Madrid and less on the French team,
he continued. So that means that there can be a reflection because there you really poked his ego, which is oversized. We know that and I don't blame him for that. But I don't condone such a reaction at all. In March he will be in better shape, because I don't see how it can be worse. »
