Throughout this week, the absence of Kylian Mbappé during this October gathering of the France team was heavily commented on. On the eve of Belgium – France in the League of Nations, Aurélien Tchouameni was once again questioned on this subject. The 24-year-old midfielder believes the controversy surrounding his Real Madrid teammate is exaggerated.
“ I think we’re doing too much. Everyone can think what they want, but we know that every time it’s Kylian, it takes on disproportionate proportions. We talked about him after, before the match, but it doesn’t matter where he followed the match, it doesn’t necessarily matter in truth. Mbappé’s love for the France team does not need to be proven. He messaged the guys, everyone to see how things were going », said Tchouameni, who will once again wear the captain’s armband after the victory against Israel, at a press conference.
