The captain of the France team will not be present at a press conference on the eve of the match against Ireland. A rarity under the Didier Deschamps era.
We will therefore have to wait. Kylian Mbappé will not answer questions about his eventful summer with Paris Saint-Germain this Wednesday. The Bondynois was however expected for the press conference the day before the match, before France-Ireland, where it is customary for Didier Deschamps to be accompanied by the captain of the Blues. But, this time, it is Antoine Griezmann who will be present alongside his coach.
When he had recovered the armband, Mbappé had not avoided the media before France-Gibraltar, last June, when his situation at PSG was already causing a lot of talk. “I have a responsibility as captain of the France team. It’s not a few noises outside that will scare me away from my responsibilities as captain, he then explained. I am here. I wouldn’t always be here. Today it was important to be there to avoid any interpretation of flight or fear. It’s not my temperament at all. »
For this shot, it is therefore missed. We will therefore still have to wait to have this famous speech by Kylian Mbappé, which has been announced since the end of August, since his situation at PSG has been regularized. Two hypotheses: either Mbappé wants to control his communication, and choose the way he will approach this subject; or he does not want to interfere with the press conference of the Blues with his personal case.
