If by winning in Italy (1-3) on Sunday, the Blues finished 2024 on a good note, Didier Deschamps still has many files on the table. The main problem to resolve for the French coach obviously has the name Kylian Mbappé. After wanting to miss out in October, the Madrid striker was not selected in November. Enough to necessarily weaken the status of Bondynois.
To believe The Teamthe 1998 world champion would like to discuss the captain’s armband with the former Parisian. If he did not hesitate to entrust him with the captaincy after the retirement of Hugo Lloris, Didier Deschamps would begin to regret his choice, believing that the armband was undoubtedly too big for him.
Mbappé not made for this role?
And for Johan Micoud, Didier Deschamps actually made a mistake by entrusting the armband to Kylian Mbappé, believing that he would have been better inspired to choose Antoine Griezmann.
“I find that the reasoning should have been the opposite. Because Griezmann is not at all on the downward slope after the World Cup. He is the best player in the selection. So we should have given (the armband) to Griezmann first while preparing Mbappé for the future. “, he confided on the set of L’Equipe du Soir.
“Because you know very well that Griezmann is not going to play ten more years. He will play for two years or maybe even go, if everything had gone well at the Euro he might have gone to the World Cup. I think that’s how it should have been done, especially when we see the ability of the two players in a group.”
he continued, adding: “Mbappé is not someone who will bring the whole team with him. I think Griezmann would have been capable of it. If Griezmann had had it, maybe Griezmann would still be here. I think there was a real break after not having the armbar. I think psychologically he kept it in the way even though he didn’t say anything. »
