“Mbappe has no life! There is no life in it!

In France, there is no talk of anything other than Kylian Mbappe’s call-up to the French national team after the striker stayed in Madrid to rest from the injury he received on September 24 in the match against Alaves. His teammate Ibrahima Konate defended the Real Madrid player on Tuesday, ensuring he doesn’t know how to cope with being in the spotlight almost every week.

“Criticism of Kylian Mbappe? This is Kylian Mbappe. It is a reflection of everything that happens around him and the number of people who follow him. It creates awareness around it.”said Konate, who is in the running during the current international break as one of the candidates to take up the striker’s baton as captain after not being called up for matches against Israel on Thursday and Belgium on October 14 last week.

The Liverpool centre-back, who has recovered from recent injuries, also said Mbappe has no life. “Sometimes I put myself in their shoes, and if I had all this enthusiasm around me, I don’t know if I could handle it. He achieved this and continues to do so. I have no idea if he had a psychological crisis in his life, I would like to talk to him about it. But you have to put yourself in their shoes. Everything that revolves around it… There is no life in it! There is no life in it! And that must be hard for him.“

Konate was not the only one who took the floor to justify the absence Kylian Mbappe. Didier Deschamps, coach of the French national team, added in an interview on the YouTube channel of the French Football Federation that sometimes you need to put the interests of the player first.even when it comes to wearing the France national team shirt, resolving a dispute that has drawn strong criticism in the French country in recent hours.
