Athletistic / Football. French world and European champion Emmanuel Petit has criticised French striker Kylian Mbappé for his performance at Euro 2024
“For me, Mbappé is definitely not a good captain. Is the role of a captain to point out the faults of his teammates? But Kylian was not even good at that. All this noise about his mask or his broken nose… What difference does it make to us! Mbappé Far from being the first to play with a broken nose, he has shown no leadership qualities, neither on the pitch nor off it.
“I remember very well his statements before the start of the European Championships, where he said: ‘I am more concerned about my psychological strength than my physical performance.’ But mentally he failed, physically he failed, as a captain he was a complete failure. For me, Mbappé is not worthy of the captain’s armband of the national team,” Petit said on RMC Sport.
The French national team lost to Spain in the semi-finals of Euro 2024 with a score of 1:2 and ended its participation in the tournament. In five matches at the European Championship in Germany, Kylian Mbappe scored one goal (from a penalty) and one assist.
