Didier Deschamps rotated his team last night for the Nations League match against Belgium. Thus, his captain, Kylian Mbappé, and his vice-captain, Antoine Griezmann, were both on the bench. Which is rare enough to be worth mentioning. But the two 2018 world champions will be there for the October gathering. Unlike other coaches, DD does not intend to rest them, as he admitted in a press conference last night.
“No, otherwise I’ll have to leave a lot of them who are in their situation. Afterwards, I’ll talk to them, of course. I’m not going with that idea in mind. They haven’t been able to do any full preparation, the matches are coming one after the other and there’s also the psychological aspect. I’m not going to tell you today what I’m going to do in a month. Even if it will be a little different, because there are four days between the two matches. But I’m going to keep this course of seeing as many players as possible. Others can come back too, I don’t have the data yet. It could go against collective cohesion, against the results, but that’s what I’ve chosen.” DD, who was booed last night like Mbappé, has made his decision!
