New columnist for the show “Rothen s’enflamme” on RMC, Patrice Evra did not mince his words for his first speech on Friday. Launched on various current topics, the former defender of Olympique de Marseille notably returned to the case of Kylian Mbappé, not selected by Didier Deschamps for the next gathering of the Blues. “Didier protects him, let’s be clear! Mbappé no longer plays in Paris, he plays for Real Madrid. If you want to ruin your relationship with Florentino Pérez… Me, what I hear about Mbappé… I want people to give up on him. He will succeed but we have to give him time and let him breathe”first declared the ex-Red Devils player.
And to add: “Why do people only talk about Mbappé? It was you who created this legend because he won a World Cup. But for me, Mbappé does not yet come close to Benzema. With all the respect I have for him (…) The armband (of the France team), I would never have given it to Mbappé! You give everything to the guy, how do you expect him to motivate himself afterwards? The interested party will appreciate…
