Disappointing on the pitch, where the French team had to settle for two wins in six matches, with only four goals scored, including two own goals and one penalty, the Blues also made a lot of noise. The fault lies with their repeated positions in the election campaign.
Jules Koundé and Marcus Thuram have thus openly asked to block the National Rally. And Kylian Mbappé has also made his voice heard. “Extremists can come to power. I hope my voice will carry as much as possible. We need to identify with each other. We have values of diversity, tolerance and respect. Every voice counts and it should not be neglected. I hope we will make a good choice and that we will still be proud to wear the French team jersey on July 7,” the French captain said for the first time, shortly before the first round.
Two clans opposed each other
Same thing again between the two rounds. “ More than ever, we have to go and vote. It is really urgent. We cannot put the country in the hands of these people, it is really urgent. We have seen the results, it is catastrophic,” he indeed added: “We hope that everyone will mobilize and vote for the right side.” Kylian Mbappé had also mentioned a common message that the French team was supposed to broadcast. A message that never came.
And according to Marca, Kylian Mbappé has indeed had to deal with the opposition of several members of the Blues including Antoine Griezmann and Adrien Rabiot. According to the Madrid daily, this question of the elections would have led to the appearance of two clans which would have opposed each other during the competition.
