Didier Deschamps Snubs Kylian Mbappe as He Names ‘Indispensable’ Player in France National Team

French superstar Kylian Mbappe is having a rough time as of late. The player has been in top shape for his club and country but has been unexpectedly snubbed by both managers. In a recent interview, the French national team manager Didier Deschamps snubbed Mbappe to name an Atletico Madrid star as an ‘Indispensable’ player for the national team.

Deschamps’ interview comes just a day following Luis Enrique’s criticism of Kylian Mbappe. The PSG manager was unhappy with his star player despite a hattrick against Reims in his last outing.

Didier Deschamps snubs Mbappe

French manager Didier Deschamps might have left Kylian Mbappe stunned with his recent statements. While the manager is known to be a fan of the French star, he’s snubbed the player and picked another name when he was asked about the irreplaceable player on the national team.

While talking about his team, Deschamps added that while no one is irreplaceable, Atletico Madrid star Antoine Griezmann has left his mark over the years. “No one is irreplaceable. But it’s about making sure you’re indispensable, and over the years, he’s made sure he is.” 

Deschamps’s words hold some weight as Griezmann has been a crucial player for the national team. After making his debut under Deschamps in 2014, the ex-Barcelona star has made 124 appearances for the side netting 44 goals.

Mbappe had a great outing for PSG in his last game against Reims as he scored a hattrick over the opposition. However, manager Luis Enrique was not happy with the player’s performance, claiming he expected more from the Frenchman.
