Under fire from criticism due to the absence of Kylian Mbappé, Didier Deschamps can only blame himself, according to Pierre Ménès.
The Blues did not have to make a mistake on Thursday in Budapest against Israel. Not only to avoid further compromising their chances of qualifying for the Final Four of the Nations League, but also to prevent Didier Deschamps from being further weakened. Because since the Euro, the French coach has had to deal with a wave of mistrust.
And the gathering of the French team had not yet started when the 98 world champion was subject to new criticism. The fault, this time, is Kylian Mbappé, absent for the two matches against Israel and Belgium but started with Real Madrid on Saturday against Villarreal. An incomprehensible situation for many observers.
“A major communication error” by Didier Deschamps
For Pierre Ménès, the former midfielder can only blame himself. “There is a major communication error from Didier Deschamps, who has not yet achieved his masterstroke in communication errors for some time,
he said in a Youtube video. He simply had to say that given the overloaded schedule, Kylian Mbappé was left to rest for this double confrontation against Israel and Belgium. And the problem was solved. »
But for the former CFC polemicist, Didier Deschamps is not the only one at fault. Kylian Mbappé also takes his rank, primarily responsible for this situation “ambiguous and untenable”. “Quite frankly, it’s starting to cause too much controversy for the same man. I have often denounced the relentlessness against him and I maintain it. There, he could have at least expressed himself, he who is so strong in telling us about the little angel who left too soon, he could have given his position on this issue rather than leaving people once again in the unknown and in the speculations, he whispered. We can also note that Vinicius invented neck pain and is not participating in the rally with Brazil. Real’s position is extremely ambiguous in this kind of situation. But Mbappé is captain of the France team. »
