Vice-world champion in Qatar, the France team will start Euro 2024 this Monday against Austria. Before that, Kylian Mbappé, captain of the Blues, spoke about West France. The opportunity for the new Real Madrid player to display his ambitions but also to send strong words to his coach, Didier Deschamps. “We were talking about legends with Antoine (Griezmann) and Oliv’ (Giroud). There, we are facing “Super Légende”. He left his mark on the French team as a player, then a coach. It’s no longer the same coach as when I arrived. He knew how to evolve, while maintaining his standards and his principles, because, in my eyes, every coach will die with his principles, it is the basis of this profession. The coach always brings as much importance to his group. He knows how to go about winning, but I have the feeling that he has softened a little. Maybe it’s the age, or the group is younger. He adapted to this new generation”.
In the process, the French international (79 caps, 47 goals) also confided that he would do everything to win this Euro and thus add a little more to the already XXL track record of the former Monegasque coach. “Whatever happens, he has indelibly marked his time in the French team. Now, if he wants to make history a little more, we have to do something this summer, since all he is missing is the Euro as a coach. Afterwards, he will have checked everything. We will do everything for it. Whatever the future, I send him my congratulations. Hats off, coach, for all you have accomplished”. Complimentary words which should not leave the person concerned indifferent…
