Johan Micoud made very vehement remarks towards an attacker of the France team.
A former talented playmaker, Johan Micoud never established himself as an undisputed starter in his career with the French team, but the ex-Bordelais was part of the squad that won European championships in 2000. And since he began a new life as a consultant, Micoud has not hesitated to give his strong opinions on certain players in the French squad.
The most assiduous viewers of the show “L’Équipe du Soir” were able to notice Johan Micoud’s intransigence towards Kylian Mbappé. The former French international
very frequently criticizes the performances of the current captain of the French team. Mbappé is not, however, Micoud’s only target.
“When he gets close to the goal to cross or shoot, I have the impression of seeing an amateur player”
If he did not spare Kylian Mbappé after the Blues’ match against Poland on Monday (1-1), Johan Micoud also delivered an uncompromising analysis of the copy made by Ousmane Dembélé. “ Dembelé? He’s an international player who plays for big clubs… He comes up against the goalkeeper and shoots at him. You’re not bothered by anything, you don’t even look for a side, an area… He just hits the ball” thundered Micoud.
Stunned by Dembélé’s lack of efficiency, Johan Micoud went even further by clarifying his point. He has incredible technique, both feet… But when he gets close to the goal to cross or shoot, I feel like I’m watching an amateur player.«
