Zinedine Zidane intends to impose his own method at the head of the France team. According to a Spanish journalist, the coach would like to make Kylian Mbappé understand that he will not work like Didier Deschamps.
The relationship between Zinédine Zidane and Kylian Mbappé would not be as idyllic as one could imagine. While the two men have long displayed their mutual admiration, their first months of collaboration at the head of the French team have already been marked by some disagreements. And the new coach would have every intention of imposing his own method on his captain.
In any case, this is the analysis of Tomas Roncero, a Spanish journalist, who spoke about the situation. According to him, Zinedine Zidane would particularly seek to make the Real Madrid striker understand that he will not necessarily benefit from the same freedoms as with Didier Deschamps.
“Zidane wants to show that he is not like Deschamps”
“I think Zidane wants to show that he is not like Deschamps, who was perhaps more accommodating with Kylian because he was the star. But Zidane is Zidane and he has character.” believes the Spanish journalist in comments relayed by
Real France.
The journalist returns in particular to the previous rally, during which Mbappé was positioned on the left side against Turkey, while Ousmane Dembélé played in the axis. A tactical choice which would have displeased the captain of the Blues, according to information reported by The Team.
Another episode would have contributed to straining relations. Hit in the hamstring during the November rally, MbappĂ© would have considered returning to Madrid to rest. He even chartered a private jet, according to different sources. But “Zizou” would have refused to let him leave the group, preferring to keep his captain with his teammates. A way of asserting one’s authority and laying the foundations for its operation.
