The coach of the French national team, Zinedine Zidane, categorically denied rumors of a rift with captain Kylian Mbappé and confirmed that the forward is available for tonight’s match against Turkey. The rumors were sparked by reports of a disagreement between them regarding Mbappé’s position, as Zidane deployed him on the left wing of the attack instead of as a traditional center forward.
“I don’t understand it, but it’s not such a big deal. That’s why I’m not going to get into the discussion. I have the relationship of a coach with his player, and it’s going perfectly. What’s being said is nonsense. It’s a shame and quite annoying. His presence changes everything. We’d much rather have him than not have him. There’s no problem; he’ll be with us for the match against Turkey. You’ll see how we play. These are coaching matters. Kylian always plays an important role both on and off the field. He’s very important to us as a team,” emphasized the French legend and now national team coach.
