After celebrating its 4,000th broadcast this week, L'Équipe du Soir confirms its success in the second part of the evening. The flagship program of La Chaîne L'Équipe brings together columnists with strong personalities every day, like Johan Micoud.

A fine connoisseur of the game and fan of attacking football, the former French international is also known for his dislike for Kylian Mbappé. Micoud never misses the opportunity to criticize the captain of the France team.

A mania that can even turn into running gag in the relaxed atmosphere of the set, other regular columnists from the Evening Team did not hesitate to “challenge” the former playmaker on the subject.

Micoud deliberately dodges the Mbappé theme

Thursday evening, Grégory Schneider nevertheless extended a pole to Johan Micoud to express a positive opinion on Kylian Mbappé. After a one-minute speech to convince his colleagues of the benefit of playing the striker against Azerbaijan, the journalist from Libération called on Micoud to support him in his approach by releasing a special card. But the consultant's response was quick to come…

Inasmuch as ” president of L’Équipe du Soir“, Johan Micoud responded directly with another card in order to avoid the subject. A way of assuming, once again, his aversion for the Blues scorer, which made his friends on set smile. The day when Kylian Mbappé will hear the star consultant of L'Équipe du Soir compliment him has not yet arrived.
