We didn’t wait until today to find out that Kylian Mbappé didn’t just have fans in France. In addition to his latest controversial outings, such as in September when he indicated that “people’s opinion» on the Blues was the “cadet» his worries, his latest performances have not allowed him to reconcile with the French public either. In October, moreover, he had chosen to give up on the gathering of the French team, due to an injury (he had played three days earlier with Real Madrid), and a desire to concentrate about his new club. Which has not yet borne fruit, as the 98 world champion, Lionel Charbonnier, recalled in less polished language yesterday on RMC. “He is useless, he (Deschamps) is not going to call him up to the French team. He sucks! captain or not captainhe said, believing that this choice by Deschamps to do without Mbappé responded to sporting logic.
“DD has already called up players who were not good at the club, or as replacements, but in the French team, Giroud, Griezmann and company were always good. Kolo Muani, he marks his debut for the French team, Mbappé does not mark any. He missed out on his Euro, before that, he didn’t score a lot, he wasn’t good either. He is bad with his club, why bring him back? If I’m DD, I don’t call him back either. What if it shocks me? Well no that doesn’t shock me, absolutely not, you’re not good, you’re not going to the French team, you don’t have an immunity totem. Let him get better, stop going out clubbing, let him work. That he is not put on the bench with Real because it will hang in his face. But when it’s like that, you go to bed early and eat well, isn’t that what he said?» At least it’s clear.
