On October 7, according to L’Equipe, Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappe’s decision not to report to the French national team has caused a stir. Prior to Real Madrid’s 2-0 victory over Villarreal over the weekend, the team announced their squad list, which included Mbappe, who was previously rumored to be injured. This has caused great dissatisfaction for Didier Deschamps, the head coach of the French national team, who has chosen not to include him in the upcoming UEFA Nations League matches.
Deschamps confirmed that he had spoken with Mbappe and that they had agreed for him to stay in Madrid, but did not expect him to play for Real Madrid so soon.
Former French international Patrice Evra also criticized Mbappe’s behavior on this issue, stating: “Evra said, ‘If calling up Mbappe for the French team leads to an injury, wouldn’t that strain the relationship with Florentino? Real Madrid is not Paris Saint-Germain; such risks are not acceptable for the French team. That being said, it was you who paved the way for Mbappe’s rise to fame.’
In addition to Evra’s comments, L’Equipe also stated that Mbappe’s actions have damaged his image with the French national team and put the coach in a difficult position.
