Renouncing the superstar
Mbappe knock-on effect: “He simply fired him”
The absence of superstar Kylian Mbappe from France's squad is causing a lot of excitement. Now team boss Didier Deschamps is also coming under fire.
Bang effect in France! Without Kylian Mbappe, the French will play their upcoming Nations League games against Israel on November 14 and three days later in the top clash with Italy. Deschamps "simply fired Mbappe from the French national team, he fired him", emphasized long-time French coach Jean-Michel Larque on "RMC".
The Real Madrid striker, who had been suffering from an injury, had already been absent from the Equipe Tricolore's two previous international matches against Israel (4:1) and Belgium (2:1) in October, although he had already returned to action for Real at the time. In consultation with Deschamps and Real coach Carlo Ancelotti, Mbappe preferred to train in Madrid. According to Larque, the fact that Deschamps is now not considering Mbappe is the "backlash".
"I had talks with him and made this decision, it's better this way," explained Deschamps. However, he did not give any reasons.
Serious decision
For former footballer and now TV presenter Jerome Rothen, one thing is certain: "The fact that Didier made the decision not to call up Kylian Mbappe will leave its mark on the group."
