French national football team coach Didier Deschamps defended Kylian Mbappé, the leader and Spanish Real Madrid star, after revealing that he spent an evening while the “Roosters” were playing a match in the European Nations League competition, recalling during his talk on the “Telefoot” program on Sunday that “if the players get days… Vacation, they are free to do whatever they want.”
Deschamps explained, “I do not follow news about players who are not available. Kylian follows the program decided by his club, Real Madrid.”
He added, “Kylian sent me a message before the match.”
French national team players Wesley Fofana and Matteo Guendouzi defended Mbappe on Saturday, reminding that he “does whatever he wants in his free time.”
Chelsea defender Fofana stressed that “everyone does what they want in their free time,” commenting on an evening spent by the star Mbappe in Stockholm, which was revealed by the Swedish press on the evening of France’s victory over Israel (4-1) in the third round of the continental competition.
For his part, Italian Lazio player Guendouzi responded to journalists in a press conference, “We have to stop talking about him so much. You live from that too, from talking about him every day.”
