Present at a press conference this Saturday, Ibrahima Konaté spoke on subjects related to the France team, two weeks before the launch of the Euro. The 25-year-old notably mentioned the role of his captain, Kylian Mbappé, who was widely criticized for his latest performances with PSG and the Blues. Despite his lackluster outings, the number 10 of the France team is a leader in the locker room and takes to heart the fact that he wears the armband, as Konaté reveals, even when executives like Varane or Lloris were still selected.

“Kylian, even when Lloris and Varane were there, was already a leader. He is one of the only players to speak at halftime at the World Cup. He bridges the gap between the oldest and the youngest. He is a leader on and off the field.”first admitted the Liverpool central defender, before discussing the future of his captain. “If he is happy, I am very happy. I don’t know where he’s going to go, he’ll announce it in a few days.”he added.
