Even two years later, it is a decision that continues to be talked about … At the end of the 2022 World Cup, Hugo Lloris and Raphaël Varane have ended their international careers. From then on, Didier Deschamps had to find a new captain. And it was finally Kylian Mbappé who was chosen at the expense of Antoine Griezmann. A choice still criticized today.
On RMC waves, Lionel Charbonnier did not chew his words at the place of the coach. For the 98 world champion, “DD” completely planted by entrusting the capitalist to the Real Madrid striker, “ a cleansing guy ” And ” who almost imposed himself as a captain ».
“I only understand Deschamps may ask a guest guy to bring together around him”
“” Didier is losing his group. I saw him at the Euro, his message no longer passed when he built his legend as coach by managing to unite around him. He knew how to take people with him. But this is no longer going. He gave the armband at Mbappé, who almost established himself as a captain. I do not make the Kylian trial. And I love DD, but I don't recognize him anymore », Used the former porter of the Blues.
And to add: ” Mbappé is a divisive guy and France today is divided between pro-mm and anti-mm. In the history of the French team, the big captains have naturally become so. Mbappé has not become captain naturally. I do not understand that DD can ask a divisive guy to bring together around him. The proof, Griezmann left. Mbappé had the capitalist he asked for. I want DD for that. »»
