Once again absent from Didier Deschamps’ list for the November gathering of the French team, Kylian Mbappé continues to stir up debate in France. At the same time, his lackluster performances at Real Madrid also earned him strong criticism in Spain.
Ibrahim Konaté, his teammate in the selection, considers this situation particularly delicate. The central defender, who also mentioned
a certain ingratitude of which the French captain would be the victimclearly stated that he would not wish to be in the place of the former Parisian.
Konaté sympathizes but does not envy him
“When he is with us journalists, everyone is around him. Mbappé today, the place he has in this world is exceptional. I often tell him: ‘I want your level of football, but I don’t want your life.’ Because, frankly, it’s very difficult that his name is everywhere, at the slightest actions and gestures, we constantly talk about him”observed Konaté, invited this Sunday on the set of Channel Football Club.
Whatever happens, the Blues will have to cope without the Bondynois for their next Nations League matches. They will host Israel on November 14 at the Stade de France before traveling to San Siro to face Italy on November 17.
