Spoiler, he doesn't say much.
Already absent during the last gathering, Kylian Mbappé is still not there to face Israel and Italy. On Thursday, his non-presence in Didier Deschamps' list aroused astonishment and gave rise to numerous theories to explain it. This Wednesday, Philippe Diallo, president of the FFF, gives his opinion on the situation in the columns of Parisian, without getting too wet.
« I spoke with Kylian during the Euro. Since then, I haven't had it live. He exchanged a lot with Didier Deschamps. I have close relationships with the coach, so I was kept informed of their discussions and Didier's thoughts. It is “ the fruit » of these exchanges which led him to make a choice. Kylian is one of the best players in the world. He is going through a slightly more delicate period, but the wish, I think, of all football lovers. It's that he gets out of it as quickly as possible, that he becomes again the player who made us dream in 2018 and 2022, that he finds the Blues, the captain's armband, and that he takes us towards the 2026 World Cup and the search for a third star. »
« I have no doubt about his involvement”
Et to the question of a possible lack of involvement of Kylian Mbappé with the Blues, the president steps up to the plate : « I want to immediately dispel this idea: every time I spoke with him, I always saw in Kylian a lover of the France team, respectful of the jersey he wears. I have no doubt about his full involvement, nor about his behavior as captain and towards the group. It can happen that you feel a little less well, and the only wish I have is that he returns to his place as quickly as possible, at the head of the France team. »
If with this kind of support, we always feel blue…
