Kylian Mbappé finds that the French public is unfair to him. Having become captain of the France team after the announcement of the international retirement of Hugo Lloris, record holder for selections in Blue (145 caps), the Real Madrid player believes he receives different treatment from that of his predecessor. “I don’t have the same armband as Hugo (Lloris). I get asked a lot of things. It’s a responsibility. People ask me for another job compared to Hugo. I was there, I could see clearly. Griezmann was perfectly legitimate. The coach said to me: “How would it feel to be captain of the France team? It would be an honor.” I wouldn’t have returned anything if he hadn’t given it to me.”he confessed in his interview with Mouloud Achour for Click.
In addition to the torment surrounding his role as captain of the French ship, the former AS Monaco and Paris Saint-Germain player feels unloved by some of the Blues supporters. “In the French team, I have always forgiven everything. People lied about me. At Euro 2021, I was lied to from the first to the last day, I was called a monkey, I was blamed for certain failures. But it’s the France team, I’ve always given everything. You serve your country, period. Sometimes it’s writing for the sake of writing, speaking for the sake of speaking, to hurt yourself. So you accept it, otherwise you can be unhappy”concluded number 9 of Casa Blanca.
