Kylian Mbappé is regularly criticized, in Spain and France, despite the impressive number of goals he scores. In question, his role as leader and his attitude, which are not always there. Asked by Sportsboomformer French international Frank Leboeuf was particularly harsh towards the captain of the Blues. “No, Kylian Mbappé is not a leader in my eyes, because he is too individualistic in his way of thinking. That’s why I appreciate players like William Saliba and N’Golo Kanté, players ready to sacrifice themselves for the team.”he said.
“That’s the difference for me, and that’s what matters most. Antoine Griezmann was also a true leader, both through his play and his vision of football. I really liked Ousmane Dembélé’s remark, who said that if I don’t defend, the coach won’t make me play, and that’s the reality of football. (…) Once again, he’s a great guy, very cultured, but his vision of football does not correspond to my values”concluded Leboeuf. The debate is not about to end.
