The France team continues its preparation at Clairefontaine before flying to Faro this Thursday to face Gibraltar in the Euro 2024 qualifiers. On Monday, Greece will present themselves at the Stade de France. This Wednesday, Ibrahima Konaté and Randal Kolo Muani were expected at a press conference. The Kylian Mbappé soap opera was, unsurprisingly, discussed. As has been the case since Monday and the “bomb” of the non-activation of the PSG striker’s contract extension for the 2024-25 season.
“It’s you (the journalists), you only talk about him, smiles Ibrahima Konaté. Him (Kylian Mbappé), he does nothing. He answers. A player who gets people talking about him like that is exceptional. Then you have to see what he does (on the pitch), what he has produced. He deserves it. Everyone talks, it makes the buzz, the front page, we don’t control that. It’s you.”
