“I discussed, exchanged with him. I confirm to you what I said a few weeks ago, he will be a captain. ” Earlier in the day, Didier Deschamps confirmed that Kylian Mbappé remained the captain of the Blues, and will therefore carry the armband during the double confrontation against Croatia in the League of Nations at the end of the month. A decision that did not please Jérôme Rothen, who returned to this subject on RMC Sport.
“I have the impression that Didier has a selective memory. His leadership has been questioned more than once by his captain, Mbappé, for months. (…) Knowing him well, he did not appreciate, but we forget, what happened to the Euro media with communications on the Deschamps networks had to hate. Mbappé can be missed, but we expected it at another level. He did not want to come in September, then he stayed at rest when he had played with Real Madrid. I do not question his selection, but his capitat. Kylian has so much fault that he did not deserve to take the armband immediately ”said the consultant. It is rather clear.
