Kylian Mbappé will not be present in the Nations League with the Blues. The Frenchman was sanctioned, according to RMC, for not having honored his coach’s request last month. Between Deschamps and Mbappé, tension currently predominates.
The tension is palpable in the France group. Since yesterday, the media have been trying to understand what pushed Didier Deschamps to dismiss Kylian Mbappé, who will not be present for the matches against Italy and Israel. By announcing the list of players selected, the Blues coach surprised everyone. The name of the Real Madrid star did not appear in this group, although he is not injured.
To justify his decision, Didier Deschamps simply stated that it was he who had decided not to take his captain back, without going into detail about the reasons which pushed him to make this choice. But according to RMC, it is indeed a strong gesture, to send a clear message to the 25-year-old superstar.
“It’s a punishment!”
Obviously, Didier Deschamps would not have liked the speech given by Mbappé and his clan last October. The Frenchman then agreed not to participate in the Blues gathering, favoring his preparation with Real Madrid. Suffering from a small physical problem, he had nevertheless played a few days before the Blues’ first match in this international break.
This approach did not please Didier Deschamps who, according to RMC, therefore sends him a strong message this month. “He’s not taking it because he did it the other way around last time,” Daniel Riolo even said in After Foot. “It’s a punishment, it’s a sanction! He doesn’t say it because he doesn’t want to drive the point home and tear up the relationship a little too much. He told her. Until last night (Wednesday ), at Mbappé, we were sure to come. There was no subject in his entourage.he then assures.
Other French media corroborate this version, citing a call made Thursday before the announcement to explain to Mbappé that he would not be taken back. Other media suggest that the personality of the French player would have annoyed certain other players, who would criticize him for seeking privileges in the selection. To protect the group, Deschamps therefore dismissed his star, hoping to find her in March, in better shape and mentally recovered from this delicate period.
In France as in Spain, Mbappé suffered a lot of criticism, he who struggled to establish himself as an attacker in his new club. A bad patch that continues to drag on.
