While Kylian Mbappé is going through a difficult period, Ibrahima Konaté gives him his support and reminds us of everything he has brought to the France team.

These days, it’s not a good name to be called Kylian Mbappé. In difficulty both in the French team and at Real Madrid, the club of his dreams which he joined last summer, the French striker finds himself not only under the spotlight of criticism for his performances at half mast, but also at heart of the news for extra-sporting controversies.

Guest on the set of Channel Football Club this Sunday, Ibrahima Konaté, his teammate in the selection and central defender of Liverpool, came to the aid of the French captain, currently in turmoil. He notably pointed out a lack of recognition towards Mbappé.

“He did a lot of things”

“When he is with us, we know the qualities he has. We know what he brought us. And we must not be ungrateful after what he was able to bring to this France team. He has done a lot and the whole world is aware of itrecalled the Parisian. Today he is not here. It’s up to the players who replace him in his position to do the job, to be decisive and to be able to allow us to win matches. »

This Thursday, Didier Deschamps’s gang, including Konaté, will face Israel at the Stade de France, before closing this group stage of the League of Nations with a final meeting against Italy at San Siro on Sunday. Two matches in which Mbappé, not called up a second time by the French coach after the October rally, will not participate.
