Deschamps slams Giroud for his complaints about Mbappé

Olivier Giroud's life is in a sweet moment. After leaving a Chelsea where opportunities were already expensive even before the landing of Romelu Lukaku, in Milan he has excelled in preseason games and is taking advantage of the absence of Zlatan Ibrahimovic. This could be a good opportunity to regain the confidence of a Deschamps who, after Benzema's pardon, has dropped in an interview with L'Équipe that the ex Chelsea and his stage with Les Bleus they could be a part of the past.

“I have always been honest and transparent. The situation he had in his club was very deteriorated. I know very well everything he has achieved, he has done very well. Olivier, that was 2018, now we are in 2021 and I am not here to ensure nothing to anyone “Deschamps said, analyzing the situation of the striker for the French team. In addition, he acknowledged that he lectured him for some statements he made after scoring two goals against Bulgaria on June 9, in a preparatory match for the European Championship.

In them, indirectly, he complained that Mbappé did not pass the ball to him, something that Deschamps did not like. “You know, I told you: you shouldn't have said that, that's for sure. It generated small tensions in the dressing room for two or three days, but it was only during preparation.”added the former midfielder. These statements seem to be an unmistakable sign that the end of the 34-year-old striker's international career is near. However, a good performance at San Siro could put a new twist on the situation. In just 1,200 minutes at Chelsea, he managed to score eleven goals last yearWe will see how his love affair with Milan evolves.

The attack on Mbappé?

The complaint in question was the following: “They say that I am discreet, but it is because sometimes I ask for the balls and they do not reach me. Later, I try to make all possible calls to my teammates, and try to provide solutions in the area. With two good assists from Ben Yedder and Pavard, I was able to finish the game well, but we could have scored more goals if we had been more efficient. “. From France they were interpreted as a direct attack on Mbappé. Only Giroud knows it, but Deschamps wanted to make it clear that he always goes straight ahead.
