Mbappe's Situation Raises Concerns as Deschamps Addresses Negative Speculations

Mbappe's Controversial Environment Following Allegations

Currently engulfed in controversy, Kylian Mbappe is the subject of a sexual assault investigation according to Swedish media, which his entourage denies. After a recent match, Didier Deschamps faced inquiries about the extra-sporting controversies surrounding his captain.

In response to a journalist's question regarding his communication with Mbappe amidst new allegations, Deschamps remarked, "If you give credence to anything... It’s everywhere now, in any form." He emphasized the need to distinguish between fact and fiction, stating, "I feel some want to place all blame on him. Information or misinformation, I will not discuss it with him; he is mature and has the means to communicate."

Deschamps' Perspective on Media Scrutiny

Deschamps further criticized the media climate surrounding Mbappe, highlighting that while everyone is free to express their opinions, there is a very negative environment present. He advised taking a step back before publishing stories, remarking, "There are things not hard to verify, but if you give credit to anything... I take a lot of distance from this, but it’s certainly not good for the French team."

Notably, Mbappe was not selected for this gathering with the French squad to receive treatment with Real Madrid. However, his quick return to the pitch just days after his absence sparked significant controversy.

Last Thursday, the Madrid striker was spotted in Stockholm during France's match against Israel, emphasizing the chaos surrounding his situation.
