To extend the ongoing appeasement with PSG, Kylian Mbappé will not be present at a press conference this Monday, 4:30 p.m., on the eve of the friendly match against Germany. As before the victorious reception of Ireland (2-0), on Wednesday September 6, the captain of the France team will therefore not be alongside Didier Deschamps, as is normally customary on the eve of a before – match of the Blues. The 24-year-old Parisian striker has still not come out of silence since his reintegration into the PSG first team, in which he shines in Ligue 1.

Griezmann will replace him

“I have a responsibility as captain of the France team. A few noises outside aren’t going to make me shy away from my responsibilities as captain. I am here. I won’t always be here. Today it was important to be there to avoid any interpretation of flight or fear. It’s not my temperament at all, ”Mbappé confided on June 15 before Gibraltar-France for what remains to this day his last speech. He will therefore be replaced once again by Antoine Griezmann, the vice-captain of the Blues.

This Wednesday, September 6 at the Parc des Princes, Didier Deschamps claimed this choice, after he left the floor to Griezmann. “In the reflection and the discussions that I can have, the interest of the France team always takes precedence and it is the match against Ireland, detailed the coach. I know very well that you have a lot of interest in Kylian. If I refer to his last press conference, I don’t think you asked many questions about the France team. I always put the collective interest first, I ensure that it is best for the French team. »
