After the group shooting of the players on Saturday, who all had a word to defend their captain, seen wandering around Stockholm for an evening in a nightclub at the very moment when the friends who had not shown up were challenging Israel , it was Didier Deschamps who stepped up to the plate for Kylian Mbappé this Sunday at the Téléfoot microphone.
“I don’t follow news about players who aren’t there. Kylian is in a program with his club, Real Madrid, like all internationals who have not joined their selection. I don’t know what his program was, if he was off, if he was there or not… What I can tell you is that Kylian sent me a message before the match… Afterwards like any player in the club, he follows the program. On off days, players have the freedom to do whatever they want. »
Nothing hair-raising, therefore, during from a Sunday interview where the coach also specified that Aurélien Tchouaméni would still be the captain this time “if he plays” against Belgium on Monday. Playing 90 minutes twice in the Madrid midfielder in a position where Real is particularly lacking, we can imagine the thrill of happiness in DD just thinking about it.
