A press conference which took place amid slight annoyance. Wednesday November 13, Didier Deschamps met with journalists. The context? The confrontation that will take place between France and Israel Thursday November 14 at the Stade de France. A potentially high-tension meeting, which will be closely monitored by the police. Around 4,000 law enforcement officers will be present in total to monitor the area.
A first press conference for the Blues took place in October. At the time, Kylian Mbappé, currently mired in a case of rape accusations emanating from his stay in Stockholm, had already been conspicuous by his absence. And for good reason: he had not been summoned by Didier Deschamps for the Blues rally.
Didier Deschamps is losing patience at a press conference: “Listen, I told you what I told you »
This November, for the second time in a row, the Real Madrid striker was absent from the gathering. Some specialists who analyzed Mbappé’s case judged that the player was not in good shape, and perhaps even depressed or burned out. Asked about the absence of his foal, the star coach appeared somewhat annoyed. And made it known: “ Listen, I told you what I told you. You are free to speak and interpret, I have a match tomorrow, I have 23 players who are there. Kylian is not here, leave him alone! »he said, very dryly.
Should we take this rant as a form of support? Not so sure… Some specialist sites suggest that this non-call would be a sort of punishment towards the player, who went out clubbing in Stockholm rather than resting after his injury. But other commentators say the opposite, and DD has not commented on the issue, so the doubt continues to hover…
Nicolas Sarkozy, François Hollande, Emmanuel Macron… All present at the France-Israel match
Didier Deschamps was also questioned about the presence of François Hollande, Emmanuel Macron, and Nicolas Sarkozy on Thursday November 14 during the France-Israel match.
“That there is the President of the Republic and ex-presidents who are there… What am I going to tell you? So much the better, in the sense that they want to be there in this very particular context (…) heavy and heavy”he reacted.
