This Thursday, Didier Deschamps announced his list for the upcoming matches against Israel and Italy. The main information to remember is the absence of Kylian Mbappé for the second rally in a row. An absence which caused a lot of talk and, according to Jacques Vendroux, this could be explained by the fact that the world champion would be less and less appreciated internally, in particular.
On November 14 and 17, the team of France confront Israel and theItaly on behalf of the League of Nations. This Thursday, Didier Deschamps therefore revealed the list of players selected for these two matches. The coach was classic, but Lucas Chevalier is still celebrating his first cape, he who has been sparkling since the start of the season with the LOSC.
Mbappé still absent
It is not the presence of Lucas Chevalier who was most talked about in the list of Didier Deschampsbut rather an absence. Already absent during the last rally, Kylian Mbappé was also not called up this Thursday and that is causing a lot of talk. At a press conference, the coach justified his choice: “I had several discussions with him, I thought about it and I made this decision about this gathering. It's better like this. I'm not going to argue. What I can tell you is that Kylian wanted to come. It is not the extra-sporting problems that come into play. It's a one-off choice. »
Mbappé would no longer be unanimous internally according to Vendroux
The absence of Kylian Mbappé of the team gathering France is a lot of talk and everyone has their opinion on the subject. According to the journalist Jacques Vendrouxwho spoke on Europe 1if the attacker Real Madrid was not selected, it is probably because it would no longer be unanimous internally. “I have several reasons. The first is that I think the whole Mbappé that he is is no longer unanimous within the French team internally. Internally, before, he pretty much did what he wanted because he was the best player in the world. Maybe he went too far in his human relationships with some of his teammates. And when he leaves, it falls on him. Second reason is that it is less popular than it was. We must not forget it. And it is less credible than it once was. »
