The newspaper “L’Equipe” revealed that Kylian Mbappe’s exclusion from participating in the French national team camp during the current international break did not come from the decision of coach Didier Deschamps as was promoted, but rather at the desire of the Real Madrid star himself.
This is the second time in a row that Mbappe has not participated with the French national team, after he apologized for not being present in the camp last October due to his desire for more time and rest.
Deschamps said about his exclusion this time that it was his personal decision while the player was looking forward to returning and playing again with the Roosters.
According to the “L’Equipe” report, Mbappe is suffering from a severe psychological crisis after his decline in level this season and his failure so far to present his credentials with Real Madrid, in addition to his modest levels with the national team in recent months.
A source close to Mbappe confirmed to L’Equipe that the exclusion from the French national team was not a decision made by Deschamps, but rather the matter was “more complicated” and came primarily due to the player’s desire to rest, calm down and reduce the pressure on his shoulders.
Mbappe has been suffering from something close to depression that has lasted for months due to football and is still haunting him to this day and is currently working on resolving this matter with specialists.
The source concluded, “The most important thing is that Kylian can rediscover the happiness of playing football. The rest will come after that.”
It is worth noting that Mbappe failed to score in his last 4 matches with Real Madrid, and was the subject of much mockery after his strange performance in the Clasico and falling into the offside trap 8 times.
