Kylian Mbappé will be the new captain of the French football team. A sacred consecration for the champion, who is only 24 years old, but already has a good track record. The first match will also be Friday March 24 against the Netherlands at the Stade de France.

He doesn’t have the armband yet, but the attitude is already there. Kylian Mbappé arrived as a leader on Monday March 20, during the first gathering of the Blues since the World Cup. That’s good, Hugo Lloris having retired from international football, Didier Deschamps has appointed his new captain. Monday afternoon, the coach still refused to confirm the appointment of Kylian Mbappé, but gave some clues.

Official announcement before the next match of the Blues, Friday

Legitimate, Kylian Mbappé certainly is. World champion at 19, top scorer at the last World Cup, he is the star of the France team, as was Michel Platini in the 70s and 80s. Platini, also named captain of the Blues at 24 years. Tuesday March 21 on the Champs-Elysées, the personality of Kylian Mbappé is unanimous. “He’s young, he’s full of talent, and what’s more, I think he federates“, said a woman. “He has a certain charisma, he already has longevity in sports performance“, adds a man. The captaincy of Kylian Mbappé must be officially announced before the next match of the Blues, Friday against the Netherlands, first meeting of the qualifications of Euro 2024.
