Guest of theAfter Foot on RMC Sport this Wednesday evening, the president of the FFF Philippe Diallo, candidate for his own succession, spoke about the hot issues surrounding the French team. And he obviously mentioned the situation of Kylian Mbappé in the midst of a crisis with his club and absent for several months from France team gatherings. A primarily sporting choice according to Philippe Diallo, who believes that the former PSG player is far from the level he had a few years ago.
“This story is certainly penalizing because Mbappé is one of the greatest players on the planet. He is currently experiencing a slump. I think everyone can see this from the performances at the start of his career. For the first time in his career, he has a lower level of performance. And that weighs on the France team. I still think that if he had performed at the level he has since the start of his career, we might have won the Euro in Germany. This is not the case. He is in a somewhat sluggish period of his career. I haven’t spoken with him directly in recent weeks because Didier Deschamps has had a lot of discussions even in Madrid. But I was kept informed of the coach’s discussions and decisions. My only worry is that he becomes the player likely to win the Ballon d’Or again and that he is with us in March. he explained.
