Didier Deschamps is well aware of this. Since Kylian Mbappé was promoted to captain of the France team, a change has taken place within his group, both collectively and individually. Over the months, the Blues saw Antoine Griezmann lose his influence, until he completely died out and opted for international retirement. As for the main person concerned, his performances in the selection have no longer been the same.
Certainly caught up in the significant turning point in his career that constituted his transfer from PSG to Real Madrid, not to mention his recent extra-sporting concerns, Kylian Mbappé was unable to adequately respond to his new obligations linked to wearing cuff. And Didier Deschamps for having been surveyed on the question during the November gathering. With the following reply: “
Today, I am not going to ask myself a question that is not on the agenda. Everything in its time… »
Konaté, the leader the Blues need?
Without commenting, the boss of the Blues still opened a door that seemed double-locked. Would a change of captaincy therefore be possible? According to L’Equipe, the Bayonne technician and his staff are certainly asking themselves the question and have decided to offer Kylian Mbappé the possibility of giving up an armband that may still be too heavy. Or not really suited to his absolute star status. “ Before making a decision, he intends to discuss with him before the next gathering », notes the sports daily.
The alternative is so tempting that Didier Deschamps has no shortage of choices to compensate for a possible turnaround in the situation. During the last outings of the French team, Aurélien Tchouaméni, N’Golo Kanté and Ibrahima Konaté assumed the role of captain without batting an eyelid. The French management would have particularly appreciated the leadership of the Liverpool defender on the sidelines of the clash against Italy on Sunday evening. Everything should be much less vague in four months.
