You’re not making sense bro
Give captaincy to kante
Kylian is not a good choice, too arrogant and a forward is normally the wrong choice
French people are so petty…
Ooh I'm not the Captain Oh he is the Captain "now I'm upset" I'm tired of these Diva's,buncha 🤡🤡🤡
"He's the best player in the world" yeah right!
Mbappe great player but not a leader.
France afraid Mbappe. I don’t see him as a captain sorry to say that. He don’t have that style to captain France or national team. Idiot choice
well I simply hate Griezmann, so its good imo
the only issue i see is that griezman held a grudge on benz even though he was a better choice than giroud . so him choosing feelings over performance makes me think he wouldn’t be that good of a captain. mbappe in the other hand knew benz made france better regardless of whatever happened
Grizzy should have been the captain rather than mbappe
We all know Jules is and will always be Team Kylian so whatever. But why do I feel like they still hold it against Griezmann that France lost in Euro 2016? Surely, if Griezmann their "golden boy" that time lead them to glory no doubt the captaincy will be given to him easily.
It's all bullishit it's simple he wants to satisfy mbappe Griezmann should retire so France coach can learn his lesson.france coach is taking Griezmann to lightly he is the heart of the team and the reason france is winning or else mbappe with france is same as mbappe with psg.
Juls is the worst, he's always sentimental about France psg or mbappe
This how we pick captins in gradeschool, the best player is captin
Your best player DOES NOT have to Captain. Your most respected player with the right intangibles should be. Mbappe isn't Captain material.
So give Mbappe because he will cry about more if he doesn’t get it. Sounds like a great idea
These commenter didnt bash Ronaldo being MU captain didnt they?
I dont understand how he is the best player . He plays in the farmers league , griezmann plays in laliga , there is huge difference . If griezmann played in the farmers league he would have over 500 goals now . Mbappe cant even lead psg in the champions league , u are talking about euros .
I can't believe he said you'd rather upset Griezmann. No player should be able to bully a coach psychologically or otherwise into making a decision. This is what happens when personal egos are bigger than the team.
Juls is such a fanboy. Cant give an unbiased opinion. Very unprofessional!
Griezmann is a great player whom I like, however, in WC 2022 Final— the most important match, he didn’t show ability to lead France team fighting and reaching the hilltop. It’s a pity that France team wasted first 50 minutes for fighting the cup. France team — the most powerful team needs the strongest leader.🌅
It's the Harry Kane trap. No matter his form, you have effectively insured that he plays every minute of every game for France moving forward.
I’m not an mbappe fan but he’s the one talking in the dressing room and on the field, and he’s the one delivering the goods for France, He’s the one you’re looking to lead the team to victory. Sure someone might be there with more Caps but what’s their influence on the team
That voice crack 😂
It should have been Griezmann. Mbappe could have got it in 2-3 years.
I love it 😂😂 Mbappe is funny
Kylian Mbappe is a great player. I do not think he is a leader. He will create more problems for the team with the armband.
Haaland is the best player in the world now, not mbappe
Mbape does well under pressure and that's why he's choosing to be the Captain, Greizman is another great choice as well.
Messi first became captain at 22
CR7 first became captain at 23
Neymar first became captain at 23
Why is Mbappe becoming captain at 24 an issue. It's just crazy.
