“You don’t want to know anything”

Striker for France's world champion team in 1998, Christophe Dugarrydetonated Mbappé for his performances as team captain in the last FIFA Data, in which the squad faced Germany It is Chile. According to him, number 10's performances would have been deplorable, even more so wearing the armband.

“Of course he has the right to choose the games he wants to play. What I criticize is not that, but rather the way he makes that choice. All players choose their games, I understand that. But not everyone is captain of the French national team, not everyone strives to be number one“, commented the Frenchman.

Afterwards, Dugarry continued to judge Mbappé's attitudes during the last days with the team, but made a point of admitting the athlete's importance for the country. Even so, he highlighted the importance of the team captain setting an example for his teammates, which, according to him, did not happen.

“We are used to seeing a Mbappé who doesn't make an effort, who doesn't back down and who doesn't worry about the defensive part. But here, we simply saw an Mbappé who doesn't want to know anything. When you have the French national team armband, this is unacceptable. At the very least, you need to have an attitude. I think Mbappé didn't understand what the role of a captain is: to be exemplary and set an example. Having such a deplorable attitude in these two games is not abnormal. This doesn't change your immense qualities at all, but when you're a captain, you need to be irreproachable.”, he concluded.

During FIFA Data, the French team played friendlies against Germany and Chile. Against the Europeans, the team was beaten 2-0, with a performance criticized by much of the local press, but they beat the Chileans 3-2, with goals scored in the last minutes and greater difficulty than was expected by their fans.
