The French team has a lot of noise after the 2022 World Cup. Accordingly, President Noel Le Graet received a strong wave of criticism after disrespecting coach Zinedine Zidane.
Karim Benzema soon left the team when he was said to appear in conflict with coach Didier Deschamps. Then, it was the turn of veteran goalkeeper Hugo Lloris to bid farewell to Les Bleus.
Mbappe absolutely has the opportunity to become the captain of the French team.
The departure of Hugo Lloris forced the French team to look for a new captain. According to AS, Kylian Mbappe is one of the candidates for the captain’s armband.
At the age of 24, Mbappe has 66 caps for the national team, scoring 36 goals. He won the 2018 World Cup and scored a hat-trick against Argentina in the 2022 final.
Mbappe is clearly a good candidate, especially when Raphael Varane has also said goodbye to the team.
Most recently, former striker Christophe Dugarry shared: “Mbappe will want the captain’s armband. You can’t go against what Mbappe wants.
Let’s take the opposite scenario: imagine you don’t give Mbappe the captain’s armband. What will his reaction be?
I’m sure it wouldn’t be good, that he would be upset, affected, that he would come to conclusions like “nobody believes me”.
Mbappe will become PSG captain next year, he has to be at the center of the project, of the conversation.
Mbappe likes that, it gives him value, he likes to take the lead. So giving Mbappe the captain’s armband is another step in his achievement. For Mbappe, it’s normal.”
