With the international retirement of Hugo Lloris, the coach of the France team Didier Deschamps has decided to give the armband to his number 10, Kylian Mbappé. A decision taken to the detriment of his Swiss army knife, Antoine Griezmann. If he had been frustrated at first, the Atlético de Madrid striker seems to have moved on and is now happy to fight alongside his new captain.
“Hard, it’s difficult because I’m 32 years old. Even if I still have the rods, I’m still on the end. I took a day and a half or two days to digest. But afterwards, when I’m on the pitch, I’m happy. That’s what matters most to me. I never wanted to stop the selection, it never crossed my mind. It’s impossible, I’ll have to be released. I like the France team too much to stop, afterwards, you have to stay level. You may want to be there, but if you don’t have the level… if I have the level, I would like to go as far as possible. Now full throttle with Kylian who is our captain. Nothing is going to change because I am like that. »he said at a press conference.
