Did Kylian Mbappé suffer a huge snub in front of the Parisian locker room? Christophe Dugarry is convinced of this.
Captain of the France team, Kylian Mbappé will not be that of PSG. Unless events to the contrary occur within the workforce. Submitted to the vote of the locker room, the choice of captaincy confirmed Marquinhos in his role at the expense of the star of the capital club. Anything but anecdotal according to Christophe Dugarry. “ PSG players prefer to have Danilo than Mbappé as captain. This is a huge disavowal for Mbappé. He did everything we could to be captain of the France team and he also wanted to be captain of PSG. He always wants to be the No. 1, the leader, the scorer, the shooter for penalties and free kicks. He’s like that. He is trained for this… »
On the airwaves of RMC, the former striker turned consultant insists: “ The vote is clear, it is a disavowal for Mbappé. He is among the others. You run to be captain, you are elected fourth. Even if you know you don’t only have friends, you participate in a vote, it’s to win it. Yes, that’s a huge disavowal. » A conclusion which is not that of his opponent Jérôme Rothen: « This is not a disavowal, argues the latter. The only problem that could exist is Mbappé’s reaction, it only affects him. »
“Marquinhos has a slick image”
The former Parisian adds: “ He (Mbappe, editor’s note) knows where he is going. He knows that when you cast a vote like that, he won’t be captain. This is not a problem. He will do his best this year to represent Paris Saint-Germain. Kylian isn’t friends with everyone so automatically, if you vote by a show of hands or a secret ballot, you know it won’t be him. I think it’s a way of doing Luis Enrique. He may have also tried it to test the atmosphere in this new locker room. He realizes that Marquinhos has a slick image. He is friends with everyone while Mbappé, who is an individualist, is not the best to recreate this group. »
