On Wednesday, Kylian Mbappé did not speak to the press; it was Antoine Griezmann who faced them. Didier Deschamps, the French national team’s coach, explained the reason behind this decision.
Deschamps emphasized his focus on the French national team and the avoidance of creating media storms by not sending Kylian Mbappé in front of journalists. This way, questions about PSG are also sidestepped.
« There is no obligation to have the captain present at all times. In my thinking, there is the interest of the French team. I know that there is a lot of interest in Kylian. I don’t think there would have been many questions about the match against Ireland if he had been here. I put collective interest first. »
« I hope everything went well with Antoine, even though you still manage to ask questions about Kylian. Kylian is doing very well; he has resumed with his club, playing consecutive matches. He is in good physical and mental shape, and he is here with his status as captain, » the coach said with a smile.
