On D-2 of France-Germany at the Euro, the coach of the France team Didier Deschamps wanted to minimize the confusion between Kylian Mbappé and Olivier Giroud. The Chelsea striker complained about not receiving enough balls after the warm-up game against Bulgaria, causing the Parisian’s annoyance.
Didier Deschamps would have gone well. During the last preparatory match for the Euro against Bulgaria on Tuesday evening (3-0), in addition to the crutch suffered by Karim Benzema, the coach of the Blues had to deal with a notable media exit from his striker Olivier Giroud. Entered the game and a double scorer, the Chelsea striker complained hot, at the microphone of the channel L’Equipe, not to receive enough balls.
“Sometimes we go shopping but the balls don’t arrive, regretted Giroud. You say that I was not seen much at the beginning but maybe we could have been better.” If the 2nd top scorer in the history of the France team did not mention anyone, Kylian Mbappé felt targeted and very little appreciated the criticisms of his partner.
Giroud’s complaints? “A non-problem” for Deschamps
Usually open, the Parisian appeared very closed during the two days which followed the match. Not the ideal within a week of the entry into the running of the world champions, Tuesday against Germany.
“It is necessarily amplified, didier Deschamps played down this Sunday in the Téléfoot program. That Olivier Giroud, like any striker, say that he does not receive the balls, it is a non-problem. He does not. There was no convocation, I discuss with the whole group. Today, whatever one can say, the least little word leads to the interpretation, which can be diverse and varied. The most important, it is what’s going on internally. And internally, there’s no problem. “
Annoyed by this episode, Kylian Mbappé now wants to move on and does not want to disrupt the preparation of his team before his debut in this European Championship. The star of PSG will be present this Sunday at a press conference (4 p.m.).
