for Evra, Mbappé “cannot match Benzema”

Guest of the show hosted by Jérôme Rothen, Rothen ignites, Patrice Evra was questioned about the international retirement of Antoine Griezmann announced this Monday by the midfielder. A departure from the Blues that Evra seems to regret. “He is the key player of the France team. He likes the France team. I thank him from the bottom of my heart.” he explained, believing that the episode of the armband (entrusted to Mbappé rather than to his compatriot) played in favor of a departure.

“It is not Deschamps but the whole of France who gave too much to Mbappé. You gave him the keys to PSG, you give him the keys to the France team but Mbappé is still a young player.added Evra who would have given “without hesitation” the captaincy to «Grizou».

The former Manchester United player also spoke about the non-selection of Mbappé this week by Didier Deschamps, which is logical according to him. “If you call him out and he gets hurt, that’s the best way to ruin your relationship with Perez. Real is not PSG, you can’t take that risk.”he continued before addressing a little dig at Mbappé: “But it was you who created this legend around Mbappé. With all the respect I have for him, he has not yet reached the level of Benzema.
