Captain of the France team since December 2022 and the retirement of Hugo Lloris, Kylian Mbappé is likely to return the armband at the next gathering. Didier Deschamps, the coach, is seriously considering removing this responsibility from him.
Mbappé could return the armband
Mbappé was not present during the last two regroupings of the Tricolores. The first time it was due to alleged physical inadequacy, and the second time it was because DD decided so. The latter had argued by indicating that this one-off eviction was the best solution at the moment T. He then half-heartedly acknowledged that the Bondynois was going through a very complicated period on a psychological level.
Deschamps assures that he did not sanction Mbappé.
The absentees were always wrong, when Mbappé was Madrid, other leaders emerged. Aurélien Tchouaméni, N’Golo Kanté and Ibrahima Konaté all had the privilege of wearing the armband during the Blues’ last matches. Deschamps appreciated their investment. And in particular that of the Liverpool back, architect of the prestigious success acquired against Italy on Sunday evening (3-1).
Deschamps will speak with Mbappé
On November 7, Deschamps was asked by journalists about the possibility of removing the armband from his star player. His response was rather ambiguous: “Today, I am not going to ask myself a question that is not on the agenda. Everything in its time. » It’s because the idea in question was indeed germinating in his mind. He therefore does not rule out changing captain in 2025. But this will not be done without having previously spoken to the main person concerned. The media L’Equipe claims that the two men plan to discuss the subject. Where and when? We don’t know.
