Hungry for sport, he grew up to the sound of Formula 1 engines and the exploits of Ronaldinho. Today, with a Master’s degree in sports journalism, he no longer misses an F1 Grand Prix or a PSG match, his two passions and specialties.
While the controversy surrounding Kylian Mbappé continues to be talked about, Didier Deschamps was not particularly disturbed by the situation, ensuring that his captain could do what he wanted since he was not selected with the Blues. An opinion that Bixente Lizarazu does not really share, who regrets a communication error.
Absent from the French team gathering to recover from his injury, Kylian Mbappé however, continues to be talked about. And for good reason, not only was he the holder with the Real Madridbut above all he was seen Thursday evening in a nightclub in Stockholm. At the same time, his teammates faced Israel in League of Nations. Consequently, this nocturnal outing did not fail to cause controversy, but Didier Deschamps defended his usual captain.
Deschamps defends Mbappé
« I don’t follow news about players who aren’t there. Kylian is in a program with his club, Real Madrid, so I don’t know what his program is anyway. Was he off, was he there or not? I have to manage those who are there and what I can tell you is what Kylian sent me a message before the match. Like any player who is at his club, he follows the program. The schedule is the same for everyone. Afterwards, this is the program that Real Madrid decided. And like any player who is not with his selection, he does not have a session or a double session every day. So some clubs give players off. And if they’re on days off, they’re free to do whatever they want », explained the coach of the Blues at the microphone of Téléfoot. More Bixente Lizarazu is not entirely of the same opinion as his former teammate.
“It adds a little confusion to the confusion”
« This adds a bit of confusion to the confusion. Already the fact that he doesn’t come to the France team and that he ultimately plays with Real is quite strange. Lots of players are rested, we saw it with De Bruyne in Belgium for example. So it’s something that can be understood. It just needs to be explained much more clearly. It’s the communication that isn’t clear enough. Kylian Mbappé is a highly publicized player so that gets people talking. But on the other hand, he is the captain and a captain must have impeccable behavior in the sense that he is a leader who pulls others along. And if you want to pull others with you, you yourself must be irreproachable in your behavior. », Confided the former left side of the Blues on the set of the show TF1.
