Something would have broken in the Blues. Since Didier Deschamps chose Kylian Mbappé for captain, certainly precipitating the departure of Antoine Griezmann, the atmosphere would no longer be the same in the French team. And the results would no longer necessarily follow, delaying for a little over a year: five defeats and five draws for nine victories since March 2024.
This Sunday as part of the Téléfoot program, Kylian Mbappé-who spoke at length in the tricolor locker room at the end of the reverse conceded in front of Spain, Thursday evening, in the semi-final of the League of Nations-wanted to denounce a counter-truth according to him. No, the Blues locker room is not the scene of tensions inevitably reflecting on the ground.
“” I have never experienced an atmosphere like that because we all have about the same age group. Before there were always elders, very young, between the two. There young people arrive but we are all about the same age. We understand each other much more easily. We all know each other “, Dixit the Real Madrid striker, before reframing the debate, however:”
It's good to get along outside, it's great, but it's on the ground that we have to prove our proven and build our reputation. »»
Mbappé still friend with Dembélé?
Kylian Mbappé would therefore not be cold with his former Parisian teammate Ousmane Dembélé – a rumor born recently from their potential rivalry in the 2025 gold ball race. ”
Ousmane? He has taken on an exceptional dimension, you have to know how to make room for him “Replied the captain of the French team.
Didier Deschamps confirms the good understanding between the two headliners of his collective: “ They appreciate each other and have known each other for a long time. I sincerely think it is much more outside. It is not we who choose. These are those outside and in the media environment that can take angles more than others. Obviously, the players concerned can think about it or even the people around them also tell them about it. But it is not something that conditions life internally. »»
