France team: Mbapp seriously thought about saying stop! – Soccer

Affected by the racist insults received after his missed penalty against Switzerland (3-3, 4-5 tab) during Euro 2020, the striker of the France team Kylian Mbapp deplored the lack of support from the Federation French Football. To the point of having a reflection on his future in selection.

Kylian Mbapp will indeed be present in Qatar with the French team to compete in the 2022 World Cup. However, after Euro 2020, the Blues striker really considered ending his career in selection!

Following the elimination, in the round of 16, against Switzerland (3-3, 4-5 on pens), the Paris Saint-Germain prodigy was targeted by many critics because of his missed penalty against the goalkeeper opponent Yann Sommer.

Mbapp had a thought

Already affected by this failure, the French international has especially badly experienced the racist insults received on social networks. And to make matters worse, the 23-year-old talent complained of almost non-existent support from the French Football Federation. At his request, Mbapp even met with FFF boss Nol Le Grat about it. An unproductive interview that pushed the Habs to consider the end of his international career.

I thought, ‘I can’t play for people who think I’m a monkey. I’m not going to play’, confirmed the 2018 world champion in an interview with Sports Illustrated. However, with time and further reflection, Mbapp finally made the decision to continue his adventure under the colors of the Blues.

A message to send

But afterwards, I took the time to reflect with all the people who play with me and encourage me. And I think it’s not a good message to give up. Because I think I am an example for many people. I did not let go of the national team because it is a message to the younger generation to say: ‘We are stronger than that’, shared the Parisian. A choice to the delight of coach Didier Deschamps, who obviously risks relying on Mbapp for the defense of the French title in Qatar.
