The weight of the armband too heavy for Mbappé?
But in the near future, Kylian Mbappé should he not leave the captain's armband, even if he is part of the team assembly? France ? This is what advances Bixente Lizarazu at the microphone of Téléfoot. According to the 1998 world champion, the weight of the armband may currently be too heavy for the striker. Real Madrid and he should therefore leave this responsibility to another player, even after his return. “I find that he is not in optimal mental shape. In this situation, you cannot necessarily be captain. Being a captain means being focused on others, it means being calm yourself. It's not at all. It is perhaps a load that is too heavy, too strong for him at the moment. Maybe we can think about it. » It must be said that at club level, the Frenchman is currently not in a good situation.
