After the World Cup, Didier Deschamps, who had to do without Hugo Lloris and Raphaël Varane, decided to appoint a new captain. And after hesitating for a long time between Griezmann and Mbappé, DD ended up deciding in favor of the Parisian striker. A choice that caused a lot of talk even if the Bondynois seems to master this role by heart.
In a press conference, Didier Deschamps returned to his player’s first months as captain. “He is a captain who assumes his role. It is the decision of a group, not only his. He discusses the important points. He has everyone’s recognition. He does not overplay. To your delight, he comes to press conferences more often too. He does not speak to take it. I have more discussions with him also necessarily even if I already exchanged before. When there are player requests, he sends them to me. It happens naturally because it is legitimate.”
