Kylian Mbappé is definitely not kind to Matteo Guendouzi during the France team gatherings.
Should we see this as a consequence of the rivalry between PSG and Olympique de Marseille? Still, Kylian Mbappé does not spare Matteo Guendouzi when the two men meet with the Blues. During the last World Cup, the former Marseillais was caught by Kylian Mbappé during a striking exercise at the Jassim-bin-Hamad stadium in Doha.
“You shoot with fear. You don't place. You shoot with fear”, he said, pointing at him after a missed shot by the native of Poissy, the Parisian striker putting on a diaper a few moments later after another miss from his teammate in front of goal. Matteo Guendouzi then reacted by pretending to give him a little kick. With smile.
“Damn, we’re wasting time”
On Thursday, there were still smiles between the two men. But Kylian Mbappé attacked the Roman midfielder again during an exercise in front of goal, at the end of the session. “Damn, we’re wasting time”, he exclaimed after a bad sequence from Matteo Guendouzi, struggling to achieve a control – difficult – then a strike. Enough to trigger laughter from several players.
Recalled to the Blues after the defection of Antoine Griezmann, injured in the right ankle, Matteo Guendouzi had not been seen in the French team since the 2022 World Cup. His good season with Lazio Rome visibly convinced Didier Deschamps and the former Lorient player will undoubtedly have the opportunity to show himself, against Germany (March 23 in Lyon) or more surely against Chile (March 26 in Marseille).
