Kylian Mbappé’s departure to Real Madrid is still not going down well in the French capital. Recently, even former President of the Republic Nicolas Sarkozy allowed himself to comment on this issue by predicting the choice of the captain of the French team. “Kylian gave seven years to the club, we must not forget that. He gave us extraordinary emotions. He illustrates what we all have as temptation: we always think that the grass is greener elsewhere. I can understand that he wanted to leave, I can understand his dream, but I understand more difficultly the way in which he implemented it. But it is his choice”.
Comments that did not really please a certain Jean-Michel Larqué. “I like to receive advice or criticism from someone who is beyond reproach. I am not sure that today, Nicolas Sarkozy, who spent long hours in police stations, is able to judge the way in which a player left his favorite club. I do not think that Mbappé was summoned to a police station to be told: “this is not good and what you are doing is against the law”. So I think that it is not good. (…) At some point, it is also good to show a little modesty”he said on RMC Sport.
