The scuffle between Giroud and Mbappé is finally not going to get bigger. As reported in France, the PSG striker wants to turn the page regarding the alleged controversy that has been generated with his partner and the only objective he has is to arrive in the best possible shape for France's debut in the Eurocup against Germany next Tuesday.
Giroud's words on Tuesday, assuring that the ball had not been passed to him during the entire match against Bulgaria (ended up scoring two goals at the end), the alarms had been set off in the dressing room in France. Mbappé wanted to answer him at a press conference yesterday, but Deschamps stopped his intentions to try not to undermine one of the most consolidated groups in the entire European Championship.
After two days in which Mbappé has been very closed in training, Bondy's wants to turn the page. The forward does not want to continue with an episode that, despite bothering him, could affect the dynamics of the national team just before the European Championship. Because that has been the spirit of the world champion in recent years, to put the group before individual problems.
Be it Giroud, be it Mbappé or be it Griezmann, all the players in the national team have been able to put aside their problems to always try to win. Proof of this are the latest editions of the European Championship and the World Cup, which had the problems of Benzema and Rabiot in between and did not affect France at all, which finished as runner-up in Europe in 2016 and was proclaimed world champion in 2018. Therefore, Giroud and Mbappé has remained a mere anecdote that has probably already been forgotten in the dressing room. Next Tuesday, Deschamps' men will come out of doubt against Germany in one of the best matches of the entire group stage of the Eurocup.
