The 98 world champion, Lionel Charbonnier, understands perfectly why Didier Deschamps did not summon Kylian Mbappé for this November gathering.
There is indeed discomfort with Kylian Mbappé… As during the previous gathering in October, the Real Madrid striker was not called up by Didier Deschamps to play the Blues' two matches against Israel (November 14) and Italy (November 17). The official reason? The coach indicated that the kid from Bondy wanted to come, but that he made the decision not to take him because “ it's better like that ».
Rumors also suggest that “DD” would hardly have tasted the controversy of the last gathering, during which
Mbappé treated himself to a festive stay in Stockholm. Added to this are his disappointing performances with Real Madrid, another factor which pushed the French coach to do without his captain for this international window, according to Lionel Charbonnier, not kind to the “Kyk's”.
“He’s terrible with his club, why bring him back? »
“He is useless, he (Deschamps) is not going to call him up to the French team. He sucks! Captain or not captain, thus launched the 98 world champion on RMC. DD has already called up players who were not good at the club, or as replacements, but in the French team, Giroud, Griezmann and company were always good. Kolo Muani, he makes his debut for the French team, Mbappé does not make one. He missed out on his Euro, before that, he didn't score a lot, he wasn't good either. He is bad with his club, why bring him back? If I'm DD, I don't call him back either. »
“What if it shocks me? Well no that doesn't shock me, absolutely not, you're not good, you're not going to the French team, you don't have an immunity totem, retorted Charbonnier.
Let him get better, stop going out clubbing, let him work. That he is not put on the bench with Real because it will hang in his face. But when it's like that, you go to bed early and eat well, isn't that what he said? » The message got through.
