Two days before the French team travels to Brussels in the League of Nations, Wesley Fofana and Mattéo Guendouzi took part in a press conference this Saturday in Clairefontaine. Obviously, it was not only a question of tactics and the qualities of the Belgian players for the Chelsea defender and the Lazio midfielder. The subject Kylian Mbappé invited himself to the microphone.
Packaged with the Blues but aligned by Real Madrid, out in Stockholm on Thursday while the Blues beat Israel in Budapest (1-4), the usual captain of the selection finds himself at the heart of the debates. “Everyone does what they want with their free time,” said Fofana. He’s a big boy. He manages his career as he sees fit, he is a great professional. There is nothing else for me to say. »
Guendouzi continued on the same note: “He does what he wants on his days off. »
“This question shouldn’t even be asked”
Before completing, on the sentimental register: “We should definitely not ask questions about Kylian’s attachment to the France team,” assured the former Marseillais. This question should not even arise because of what he did for the France team, what he continues to do and what he will still do in the future for us. »
“We were all a little disappointed that he wasn’t there to help us in these two matches but there are reasons, he is not 100% fit,” continued Guendouzi, regarding the injury to his thigh of the Madrilenian. “We spoke to him again on the phone before the match. We got it through messages. » Far from the eyes but close to the heart.
