Onze Mondial: Griezmann could leave France over Mbappe’s captaincy
France striker Antoine Griezmann may leave the team. This became known to Onze Mondial.
According to the publication, the striker was dissatisfied with the fact that head coach Didier Deschamps did not choose him as captain, but 24-year-old Kylian Mbappe, who has been playing in the national team since 2017. Griezmann, 31, has been with the team since 2014.
It is specified that the desire of the player to leave the national team is also associated with the absence of Hugo Lloris, Rafael Varane and Paul Pogba in its composition. Lloris and Varane left the team at the end of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
Earlier on March 21, L’Equipe newspaper reported that Mbappe had become the new captain of the French national football team. Probably, the striker will enter the field in a new status on March 24 – for the match of the first round of qualification for the European Championship 2024. Griezmann was appointed vice-captain.
