A hell of a reminder. Facing Germany at Groupama Stadium this Saturday, the French team was soundly beaten against a Mannschaft superior in all aspects of the game. And while many castigated the poverty of the game proposed by Didier Deschamps, the executives of the Blues also took for their rank. On the front line, it was Kylian Mbappé who was singled out. Captain of this team so amorphous on Saturday, the PSG striker did not weigh in on the game and did not show the makings of a vocal leader on the pitch. A performance which inevitably caused a stir on social networks. Questioned on this subject at a press conference, Didier Deschamps then broke into a long tirade to defend the performance and attitude of the Bondynois:
“If you expect Kylian to yell at everyone, that's not Kylian. He became captain, of course. If he has to show the way, it is through what he does on the ground, even if he has to express himself. One match doesn't take away everything that's been done before. It wakes you up a little. This is not a question of leadership. When we are less well, it is not speaking to harangue others. It's more about talking to each other between the lines to correct positions. We must be able to do that more. It's natural for some players, for others it's less so. You have to speak, it allows you to correct things.»
