The controversy surrounding Kylian Mbappé’s decision not to join the France team continues.
The Blues captain returned to the starting XI for Real Madrid’s 2-0 win over Villarreal in La Liga at the weekend. However, this decision would have annoyed Didier Deschamps, who chose not to call him up for the Nations League matches.
Deschamps confirmed he spoke with his star, and the pair agreed a deal for him to stay in Madrid, as he recovers from a minor hamstring problem. This was based on a consensus that the Bondynois needed to rest, with the international break being used as a mix of rehabilitation and recovery for the 25-year-old. Former French star Patrice Evra has criticized Mbappé’s conduct on the issue, saying Deschamps treats Real Madrid differently to his handling of Paris Saint-Germain.
Kylian Mbappé defended
The subject was raised during France’s first press conference and Liverpool star Ibrahima Konaté backed his captain. “ If I were in his place and I had everything he has around me, I don’t know if I could handle it, but he could.”.
“I don’t know if he had any psychological problems in his life and I would like to talk to him about it. You have to put yourself in his place. He has no life! And it must be hard. He’s Kylian Mbappé and he is a reflection of everything that happens around him. »
