During the last two gatherings of the French team, its captain was conspicuously absent. Kylian Mbappé was not in the game, due to a physical decline in one thigh which did not prevent him from playing with Real Madrid in October and then under the decision of coach Didier Deschamps for this month of November. President of the FFF, Philippe Diallo spoke to the L'Équipe channel.
Since the end of the journey ofFrench team to l’Euro 2024 in the semi-final on July 9, lost to'Spain (2-1), it is a question of a spleen that Kylian Mbappé would hang out with the Blues. Moreover, we only have to witness his words and his body language at a press conference during the international break in September. “I am at a stage in my life and career where I no longer notice. I come, I play, I try to do my best, to help the team. What people think is the least of my worries.”
Mbappé lied to Deschamps in October?
The gathering ofFrench team of the month of September was the last appearance of the captain of the Blues. In October, Didier Deschamps had not selected him due to thigh discomfort. However, the attacker Real Madrid had played just before the said truce 70 minutes of the Merengue club match for the victory against Villarreal (2-0). A discomfort not so restrictive therefore. The qui pro quo which could have resulted a month later in the non-selection of Mbappé for the November truce. A choice assumed by the coach Didier Deschamps at a press conference while Kylian Mbappé wanted to take part in the gathering.
“I know that Didier went to Madrid to meet him”
President of the French Football Federation, Philippe Diallo spoke on the set of The evening team Wednesday in order to give his version of the facts and to smooth out the situation between Kylian Mbappé and Didier Deschamps. “If I spoke with Mbappé? No, I spoke with him during the Euro and then he left. There were then numerous contacts. I know that Didier (editor's note Deschamps) went to Madrid to meet him. There are a lot of exchanges with him and it seemed natural to me to let the coach speak with the player. Which coach reported to me about the discussions they had until the decision that you know he took for the last meeting.”
