New controversy with Kylian Mbappé, who, rested for the Blues’ match against Azerbaijan, was seen near Dubai. Enough to fuel rumors concerning a possible diplomatic injury to KM10… In any case, Jérôme Rothen spoke on this subject in his show Rothen ignites on RMC Sportand he was not kind…
“It shocks me. I assume it. It’s not even against Mbappé. I’m angry with the captain of a selection, whatever it is, and if it were a captain of another selection I would have smashed him too. What I don’t understand is how Deschamps can let this happen. It’s either in agreement with Mbappé and he does what he wants, but he explains that to us. Is Deschamps capable of letting this happen? Otherwise once again I believe that there must be answers. The other thing that shocks me besides the lack of respect for the coach. You fly 6 hours and 15 minutes rather than 5 hours (to Paris) so there is no treatment. The second thing that shocks me is that he is captain and allows himself not to go to Azerbaijan because it breaks his head, like some players who have been there and it must also break their heads when they play 60 or 70 matches per season like Mbappé. This is the vision of this new generation. A match with the French team, peanuts or not, is a source of pride. I have difficulty living with these behaviors. And he doesn’t even hide. Like in Sweden. In Iceland he was not there because he suffered a sprain, 3 days later he was training. There he has a little injury, after his fantastic match against Ukraine, especially the first half, fantastic. Then he takes a penalty and makes a decisive pass against the cones, it’s fantastic! But it’s Mbappé, you shouldn’t say anything! They tell me that I have a fixation. Captain of the French team, you have confidence in your coach, and you return that as a copy”the former midfielder got carried away. The message got through.
