Kylian Mbappé’s escapade in the Gulf has caused heated controversy. And some do not hesitate to call for sanctions.
New controversy for Kylian Mbappé. Hero of the Blues’ qualification for the World Cup thanks to his two goals and his assist against Ukraine, the Real Madrid striker indeed caused real discomfort by leaving the gathering of the France team the day after the success acquired against the Ukrainians.
Because the explanations from Didier Deschamps and the Federation to justify his absence in Azerbaijan have not convinced anyone. The ankle discomfort mentioned by the French staff had all the makings of a diplomatic injury. What followed would prove right those who doubted the justifications of the French coach and the 3F.
While he was supposed to return to Madrid to take exams, the Bondynois actually took off directly from Paris for Dubai, where he spent his weekend with friends, notably posing in a padel center. An escapade which is obviously reminiscent of that in Stockholm last fall, when the Blues were in Hungary to face Israel and which provoked a wave of indignation.
“They take us for idiots! »
And some, like Jean-Michel Larqué, are now demanding sanctions. “This press release from the federation is false, he vituperated at the microphone of RMC. I ask as a member of the association to know the truth: who at the Federation made this press release which is a lie? That the person or people who did this be interviewed by the ministry and Mrs. Ferrari and be punished. We are taken for idiots! And I’m moderate. »
“When you don’t come to a national team call-up on an official date, you are suspended, he continued. And there, to justify a non-presence at a gathering we invent an injury, with false arguments. This is false! No one at Real Madrid said that Mbappé was going to undergo examinations for his ankle, although this was specified in the French team’s press release. »
