Kylian Mbappé is on a small cloud, he who still made the nets tremble in the middle of the week against Manchester City in the Champions League. But we must not forget that only a few months ago, the Bondynois was quite criticized. By fans of Real Madrid, a little hungry during the first months of French under the Merengue tunic. But above all, it was with fans of the French Team that the rating of the PSG former was at the lowest. If his status as a captain was not really unanimous when the armband was awarded to him, his absences during the rallies of October and November clearly controversial and earned him strong criticism. Absences on which there have been no very clear explanations, on one side as on the other. For the October internship, he said to himself that the Madrid wanted above all to focus on Real Madrid and take advantage of the truce to find an optimal physical form and rehash a little after the first medium weeks.
“In September, I had a discussion with the coach before and asked not to go, I had just arrived in Madrid, I was not in my house. Mentally, I was not in a state of mind where I was 100 % ”confirmed the principal concerned in early December. Then, his absence from November was, in any case, in any case, due to this famous extra-sporting affair following its nightclub outing in Stockholm. But there, Mbappé had been more vague: “In November, I can't say. This is a decision of the coach, I put myself behind what he said. We both discussed. He said it at a press conference, there were two of us. If it comes out, he knows where it comes from … he doesn't want it to know and I fully respect. He's the boss. If one day he wants to talk about it … “. And precisely, during a long press point granted to several media as The teamthe tricolor coach spoke, and he provided several explanations. First, he wanted to confirm that the status of Mbappé captain was clearly not questioned.
Deschamps is justified
“I consider that Kylian assumed the continuation after the retreat of Hugo (Lloris) and Raphaël (Varane) at the World Cup in Doha. He assumed this role of captain with Antoine (Griezmann) as vice-captain. And the fall does not question his leadership in relation to what he has done and what he is able to do, thus launched Didier Deschamps “also confirming later that the Readte du Real Madrid will wear the armband during the March Rally, during the quarter -finals of the League of Nations against Croatia. Above all, he wanted to defend his captain: “He has the right to have a period when he is worse. Kylian, I always said, the French team will always be stronger with him. After that came to hang on this case where the media court returned its verdict, while on arrival, it was not even questioned by the Swedish justice. For three weeks, a month or more, it was violent. Kylian knows that we will always talk a lot about him, even when he is not there. But on such sensitive subjects, it is far from obvious ”. Then he returned to these famous absences.
“Before the list, the day before, there was the possibility that it will go to Lille in C1. So he could have to play. He entered thirty minutes, not completely restored. There were exchanges between medical staff, but he needed time to heal and be completely restored, and when I make my list, given the situation, I choose the option of not taking it. There was little probability that he will play on Saturday, since something felt. Finally, he played “he first explained on that of October, before explaining the reasons for his absence in November: “You can't know everything either. I refrain from revealing the exchanges I can have with the players. He knows, I know, and from there, everything is fine. You, you know he was not there, that's it. But it was I who decided. In the analysis of the situation, his form and the exchanges that I had with him, I made the decision to leave him alone. I cannot say everything, of course, but it is not a sanction as it could be interpreted according to what happened in October and his trip to Sweden. October, for me, is a non-event: Kylian depends on the Real program, which gives him five days of rest, and during these five days, he does what he wants. Whether he goes to Stockholm or Petaouchnok, there is no place where he can go unnoticed. It was during a match of the French team, yes, but that did not prevent him from sending messages to most players, and to me too. The conflagration was violent. It was a storm, and on arrival, it was not a glass of water, just two drops, that's all. If he was not even heard, it was because he had nothing to do with that. Everything was excessive ”concluded DD. The message is clear. Or not …
