The choice of Didier Deschamps is debated. Invited to vote for The Best Player of the Year award awarded Tuesday evening by FIFA, the French coach did not place Kylian Mbappé at the top. “DD” placed his captain in second position between Vinicius and Rodri. Something to make people react…
On the Canal Football Club set, Bertrand Latour implied that Deschamps wanted to pique the Madrid striker by not placing him at the top of his vote. “ This is very surprising from my point of view. To the extent that Mbappé and his entourage look at the votes of the boss of France Football when he wants to be named Ballon d’Or, you can well imagine that the choice of his own coach, who put another guy before him (Vinicius), they saw it. And I’m not sure that makes them happy. Maybe it’s on purpose given the relationship between the two…
», said the former consultant of the L’Equipe channel.
“Otherwise we are boycotted? »
A view that Laure Boulleau does not share. The former PSG player considered Bertrand Latour’s reasoning “ridiculous”. For her, Vinicius simply deserved to be ahead of Mbappé given his season. “ If we are France coach, we absolutely have to put Mbappé (in the lead, editor’s note)? Otherwise we are boycotted? It’s ridiculous “, she estimated.
Also present on the set, Margot Dumont rather went in the direction of Laure Boulleau: “ If he had put Mbappé, we would have said: ‘Ah! He favors it.’ Whatever we do, there will always be a discussion. »
