Although he is not present during the Blues’ gathering for the League of Nations, Kylian Mbappé focuses practically all the attention. The captain of the France team is not spared from criticism, knowing that he favored his club, Real Madrid, over the national selection.
Present at a press conference, Ibrahima Konaté had the opportunity to discuss these. “It’s at the height of Mbappé, he raises awareness all around him. Sometimes, I put myself in his place, if I had all this enthusiasm around me, I don’t know if I would have held on. He may have a psychological breakdown even though I have never discussed this with him. He has no life”confided the 25-year-old central defender this Tuesday late morning.
Mbappé is not a prophet in his country
A journalist then told him about the whistles received by Mbappé in Lille, when he entered play with Real Madrid in the Champions League. “When I played against Toulouse with Liverpool, they gave me an exceptional welcome. I think he’s getting over that but it can’t be easy to experience that in your country.”replied Konaté, who was not aware of this episode.
Christopher Nkunku was also present at a press conference today. Which is not the case for the French coach, who will in any case be obliged to bring up the controversy surrounding his captain again. Probably Thursday evening, after the match against Israel.
