After PSG's defeat, the new problem that Mbappe got into and the worst news he receives
Kylian Mbappe is not going through his best time at PSG.
The strained relationship between Kylian Mbappé and the French Federation gained another chapter this Sunday. After some intrigues before the World Cup dispute, when France took the runner-up, losing the final to Argentina, the relationship seemed to have returned to normal, without exchanging 'barbs'. But it was a big mistake.
The new discussion started when Noël Le Graêt, president of the French Football Federation (FFF), made sarcastic comments regarding the future of coach Zinedine Zidane, who had recently turned down a proposal to head the Brazilian national team and was interested in being the new coach of the French national team, but the current commander, Didier Deschamps, renewed until 2026.

Le Graët said in a program on "Rádio RMC Sport" that he never considered replacing Didier Deschamps, with Zidane, and stated that he "would not even have spoken to him (Zidane) on the phone" if there had been any attempt at contact. The leader still 'mocked' Zidane's possible negotiation with the CBF, saying that "I would be surprised if he (Zidane) went there".
Mbappe, in defense of Zizou
The interview generated a repercussion, and Mbappé was keen to position himself through his Twitter account. The French star came to Zidane's defense and, without mentioning Le Graët, sent an 'indirect' to the French manager, demanding more respect for the former Real Madrid coach and world champion for France in 1998, scoring two goals in the decision where the home team beat the Brazilian team 3-0. "Zidane is France, we don't disrespect a legend like that", wrote the player, world champion in 2018 and top scorer in the 2022 Cup, in addition to having been runner-up in the Qatar.
