“I made this decision because it’s better that way”. Didier Deschamps was content with few words when discussing the absence of Kylian Mbappé from his list on Thursday, ahead of the two Nations League matches against Israel and Italy. An exit open to all kinds of interpretation, and in particular that of a possible punishment, as mentioned by Bixente Lizarazu in Téléfoot this Sunday morning. For the 98 world champion, DD wanted to show his muscles, after feeling somewhat wronged last month by his player’s opaque package.
“How do I interpret Mbappé’s absence? We just understood that Kylian Mbappé wanted to come, so I interpret it as a sanction, compared to the previous training session where he said he was injured, but that he played with Real Madrid and that he did this getaway to Sweden next. I think it’s a sanction from Deschamps who simply didn’t appreciate this sequence. I think he wanted to show it and get that message across to him.»
