The Blues are back. And two months after its defeat against Spain in the Euro semi-final, the French team is particularly expected. The fault lies in its latest performances, well below expectations. Didier Deschamps and his troops have not escaped criticism. However, nothing to shake the French captain, who explained in a press conference that he had nothing to do with these comments.
“I’m at a point in my life and career where I don’t notice anymore. I come, I play, I try to do my best, to help the team. What people think is the least of my worries, he thus launched on the eve of the shock against Italy, for the first day of the League of Nations. There will always be discussions.” Statements that did not please Jérôme Rothen.
“He’s lying to himself”
“He is wrong on all counts. It’s a shame because he is intelligent, he is passionate about football. He knows the importance of the French team, a team that belongs to everyone, to all French people, he said to Jérôme Rothen, adding: “These people who criticize represent 80% or even 90% of the fans of the French team, it’s problematic if you don’t listen to them.”
“That means you’re in your bubble. I say watch out, there’s danger, he added. He’s a false step. When he comes to talk to us about football at a press conference, he has a posture that doesn’t represent him. For me, it’s not Kylian Mbappé who has been talking to us for some time. He’s lying to himself and that’s problematic.”
