Karim Benzema and Mbappe with the France national team
Critics saw that Mbappe was right in his statement, especially that he put himself on the list alongside Karim Benzema and Sadio Mane, especially since there are a number of players who presented a better season than him in the major European competitions “England and Spain”.
habitual behavior
This is not the first time that Mbappe has appeared with controversial behavior, as journalist Sebastian Tarago, from the newspaper “L’Equipe”, revealed that there was a dispute between the duo Antoine Griezmann and Kylian Mbappe, and that things between them were going very badly, in July 2021.
According to the journalist’s report, one of the reasons for the problem between the players was Karim Benzema’s return to the French national team, at the request of Mbappe to be a link between him and Griezmann, and Griezmann saw at the time that Benzema’s presence might keep him away from the team’s main list.
Griezmann and the French guy
Tarago added: Griezmann worked hard to tolerate and ignore the arrogance of the Paris Saint-Germain striker, who quickly demanded to get most of the offensive roles in the national team despite his young age, while Griezmann’s roles were reduced, and in recent months things were going very badly between the players. Which made Deschamps, the coach of France, work to return Benzema to the national team’s list in order to link the attackers.
Mbappe could not bear to see Antoine Griezmann in the technical aspects that Deschamps wanted to implement on the field, and his relationship with Giroud was not good, in addition to a tangible conflict with the Atletico Madrid striker, because Mbappe had the impression that Deschamps wanted to build his offensive plan around Griezmann more than him.
jiroo crisis

Giroud did not refer to a specific player, but it was later revealed that his statements were directed to Kylian Mbappe, his partner in the French national team’s attack line, after the lack of understanding between Giroud and the Paris Saint-Germain star in several situations.
Jirou and Mbappe played side by side during 43 minutes of the Bulgaria match, but the cooperation between them was limited to only three passes.
During a subsequent press conference, Mbappe said he was slightly moved by Giroud’s comments. But Deschamps stressed that this incident is a thing of the past and that the France team is now fully focused on the next match.
Then Deschamps told L’Equipe: “I spoke to them the same way I talk to other players, these players play at very high levels and are easier to manage than the players in the lower levels, they have pride but also arrogance, I’m not sure if that is arrogance.” They are competing and the balance has to be found, we need space for everyone on the team.
accused of arrogance
Jerome Rotten, the former France and Paris Saint-Germain player, believes that Mbappe has given a lot of strength at the international level, and that he may be one of the best players in the world, but Mbappe’s arrogance is starting to show which is difficult to manage by the France coach.
