Absent from this international gathering, Kylian Mbappé continues to make the news.
While the legendary number 7 ofAntoine Griezmann was awarded to Ousmane Dembélé, another emblematic number of the France team was left vacant during this October international gathering: that of Kylian Mbappé.
If his absence raises questions, the captain of the Blues will certainly have the curiosity to see who will recover his famous number 10. And the suspense did not last long since the newspaper L’Équipe indicated this week that it is Christopher Nkunku who would have this honor.
Nkunku, Mbappé’s number and Griezmann’s role?
Back in the French team, Mbappé’s former teammate at PSG did not hide his joy. “I went through very difficult stages, yes. It’s a period that I was discovering. Afterwards, it is adventures that make you stronger. I learned to know my body too. It taught me patience, resilience. Today, I am psychologically stronger. Sportingly, I knew that if I was healthy, I wouldn’t have any problems. »
On the pitch, on the other hand, Nkunku seems closer to the register of Antoine Griezmann. But he doesn’t see it that way. “ For my part, I’m not trying to replace Antoine Griezmann, I just want to make my contribution. We have different characteristics. I just want to be myself, give my best. Antoine left an immense legacy in the French team. We all know what he brought. He marked a generation of football“, concluded the Chelsea striker.
