After this summer’s World Cup, the French national team turned a new page, with Didier Deschamps stepping down as head coach of the “Tricolors,” who handed the reins for their future to Zinedine Zidane.
However, according to reports, “Zizou’s” relationship with France’s biggest star, Kylian Mbappé, has gotten off to a rocky start, as the Real Madrid forward’s rapport with Zidane is not the same as it was with Deschamps.
This is partly because Mbappé did not appreciate Zidane’s decision to play him on the left wing during the September Nations League matches, feeling that it undermined him as a player.
At the same time, it should be noted that Mbappé did not train on Wednesday (11/11) with his teammates, raising many questions one day before the match against the Italian national team (November 12).
