This Wednesday, the France team revealed its new captain. In the absence of Kylian Mbappé; left to rest, and Antoine Griezmann, retired, Didier Deschamps had to choose a new man with the armband. After hesitating between Maignan, Koundé and Tchouameni, the Blues coach finally gave this role to the Real Madrid midfielder. A decision which had visibly made Maignan cringe according to the press since he hoped to regain the role of captain.
But in the morning, we revealed to you that the 29-year-old goalkeeper was not bothered by this decision, believing that he did not need it to remain the leader of the team. A reaction confirmed by Tchouameni at a press conference. “Mike is not disappointed at all, because this captain story, internally, has been less of a subject than in the media. We have always tried to remain very calm, obviously the coach has spoken with several players, but Mike is not disappointed and it remains temporary. We know very well who the captain of our selection is”he confided.
