Football – Mbappé defends Zidane after Le Graët’s tackle: “We don’t disrespect the legend like that”

The incredible outing of Noël Le Graët on Zinédine Zidane this Sunday has probably not finished making waves. Barely a few tens of minutes after the broadcast of the scathing remarks of the president of the French Football Federation (FFF), the former number 10 of the Blues found himself a strong defender.

Kylian Mbappé, the striker of the France team, in turn scratched Noël Le Graët via a tweet posted this Sunday evening. “Zidane is France, we don’t disrespect the legend like that”tweeted the former Monaco player.

Asked whether Zidane, who acted as the N.1 option at the head of the Blues in the event of non-renewal of Didier Deschamps’ contract, had called him in recent days, Noël Le Graët had been very brittle towards the former Real Madrid coach. “I wouldn’t even have taken him on the phone, he let go. To tell him what? Hello sir, don’t worry, look for another club, I just agreed with Didier? (…) Would it hurt my heart for him to go to Brazil? (Zidane is announced at the head of the Brazilian selection by local media) Me, I have nothing to shake. He can go where he wants, in a big club, a selection, I hardly believe it as far as he is concerned“.
