While Kylian Mbappé’s trip to Sweden created a new scandal, the captain of the France team had warned everyone of his absence for the current gathering. And for good reason…
Is Didier Deschamps the main culprit in the situation or simply the first victim? In any case, Kylian Mbappé makes a captain of the France team who is now unmanageable. His non-call for the current gathering of the Blues, for the League of Nations matches against Israel and Belgium, had already caused a lot of talk. But his three-day getaway to Sweden, for two evenings in a very
select of Stockholm, logically caused a scandal. Everyone is tearing down the former PSG star player.
As indicated Foot Mercato On Saturday, Mbappé had simply warned, during the September rally, of his absence in October. The 25-year-old openly spoke about it to his French teammates. Which explains a lot of things. Mbappé was weakened in his hamstrings at the end of September, which gave Deschamps an opportunity to justify the non-calling of his captain. But Real Madrid’s number 9 quickly recovered, even starting against Villarreal just before the international window. He was physically operational.
Mbappé wants to be Ballon d’Or
In reality, Kylian Mbappé, despite his status, would have asked the staff of the France team to only play important matches for the Blues, as specified Foot Mercato. A privilege which would allow him to breathe a little (during a season which will end with the Club World Cup for Real), while the internationals of the big clubs continue every three or four days. The prodigy from Bondy wants to concentrate on his performances with Real Madrid and do everything to shine in order to get closer to the 2025 Ballon d’Or. Funny “priority” objective for a 25-year-old player who has never won the Champions League…
So, contrary to what Didier Deschamps explained, completely mired in this situation which is certainly beyond his control, Mbappé did not need to follow a particular treatment protocol in order to get back on his feet. He already was and just needed to take a breather. Carlo Ancelotti gave five days off to his players who did not go to the national team and, according to Foot MercatoMbappé had the green light from the leaders of Casa Blanca to spend a few days in Sweden. By specifying that he was going to have a series of private evenings in nightclubs?
