It was a complicated weekend for the Blues. On Saturday evening, Didier Deschamps' men were picked up cold by the German selection, which was much superior to France throughout the entire match and which left Lyon with a 2-0 victory. A match in which very few French players managed to do well.
After the meeting, we mainly talked about the absentees, and one of them in particular: Antoine Griezmann. For many, this poor performance against the German neighbors served to prove one thing: the leader of this team is Grizi. More than Mbappé. Everyone will have their opinion, of course, but it is clear that the Parisian did not really shine against the Nationalmannschaft. The Bondynois, for example, received a 3.5/10 in the notes of the meeting from our editorial staff. And as the daily explains The Team this Monday, his behavior after the match was even a little surprising.
Mbappé more focused on his future than on the Blues?
Indeed, the Bondynois did not seem dejected after this defeat. Far from there. “His body language was not that of a leader”, writes the sports daily. The future Madrilenian did not speak in the locker room and clearly did not give the impression of being worried or saddened by this defeat. The newspaper even goes so far as to suggest that the Parisian star today seems more focused on his problems – his future in particular – than on what is happening with the Blues.
It must be said that in addition to this long series on his future, which has already been completed – he will arrive in Madrid this summer as indicated in our columns on January 7 – Mbappé also has some problems at the club, where Luis Enrique does not hesitate to leave him on the bench or take him out during the match. An unprecedented situation for him. Not to mention the enormous pressure he has on his shoulders, since he is expected to lead PSG, once and for all, to the Champions League title. Against Chile on Tuesday, if Deschamps decides to play him, he will have a great opportunity to silence his detractors.
