Kylian Mbappé, the end announced with the Blues

Didier Deschamps is well aware of this. Since Kylian Mbappé was promoted to captain the French team, a change has taken place within his group, both collectively and individually. Over the months, the Blues saw Antoine Griezmann lose his influence, until he completely died out and opted for international retirement. As for the main person concerned, his performances in the selection have no longer been the same.

During the last outings of the French team, Aurélien Tchouaméni, N'Golo Kanté and Ibrahima Konaté assumed the role of captain without batting an eyelid. The French management would have particularly appreciated the leadership of the Liverpool defender on the sidelines of the clash against Italy on Sunday evening. Everything should be much less vague in four months.
