Usually, we almost always say that those who are absent are always wrong. But this evening, given the offensive mix proposed by the players of the France team against Israel (0-0), Kylian Mbappé was not the big loser of the evening. And at the end of the meeting, TF1 did not fail to question Didier Deschamps about the absence of its captain. Enough to annoy the Bayonnais.
“Ah you want to get back at me? He’s not here, I said what I had to say. Leave him alone. Sometimes, it’s good not to say too much”he confided, tired of having to repeat what he had declared during the pre-match press conference. But that wasn’t enough to move on. And it was his former partner from France 98, Bixente Lizarazu, who contacted him to find out if this absence was a sanction against the Bondynois.
“There is no sanction, no”
“There is no sanction, no. It’s factual. He’s in a complicated situation, yes. I’m behind him, yes. He is going through the least happy period of his career, yes. He wanted to come, I’ll say it again, but I think it’s better for him at the moment. Everyone has the right to have a complicated period. There is the physical and psychological aspect too”he declared, before concluding after yet another restart from Lizarazu.
“Liza, we understand well… There are constantly interpretations, whether I speak or not. So I’m careful when I speak. I am not going to enter into debates where there is nothing because he is not there”. DD won’t say more, but this Mbappé affair has very clearly poisoned DD’s life…
