The dreams of Thierry Henry, the coach of the French Olympic team, have evaporated regarding the joining of the star, Kylian Mbappé, 25 years old, the new Real Madrid player, to his team during the Paris tournament, which will be held from July 26 to August 11, as the “spoiled Bondi boy” confirmed during a press conference that he would not… His participation in the tournament and his commitment to the decision taken by his club not to approve the departure of any of its foreign players to participate in it.
Mbappe’s focus is currently on the European Nations Cup “Euro 2024”, which began on Friday with the opening match between the home team, Germany, and Scotland, while the “Roosters” play their first match on Monday against the Austrian national team.
The truth of the matter is that Mbappe, the top scorer in the last World Cup 2022, was hoping to participate in the Paris tournament, because it was a dream for him since he was a player in Paris Saint-Germain, and he was ready to agree to his participation in it, as he renewed his contract with the team, which he did not do. It is happening.
Real Madrid took a completely different position, as it informed the French Football Federation in an official letter that it would not allow any of its French players “Ferlan Mendy, Eduardo Camavinga and Aurelien Chouamini” to participate in the tournament, a position that was also adhered to by Mbappe, who said: The club to which I belong has taken a clear position. Frankly, I adhere to this position and will not participate, and I understand the club’s point of view, as I have just moved to a new team. He added: I wish the Olympic team the best and their victory in winning the gold medal.
Mbappe will lead his country in the match against Austria today, and the French have high hopes for the brilliance of their favorite star, especially after they were filled with fear and anxiety, when it was reported before the start of the tournament, that Mbappe was suffering from an injury, and that he was not physically ready.
However, Mbappe confirmed that he was prepared “mentally” for this tournament, and said: The most important thing is mentality and presence of mind, and I prefer to give priority to the “head” over the “legs”, and the certain thing is that I have the head, and we will see whether I have the “legs” as well or not, during Austria match.
Mbappe talked about Spain, the country that receives and hosts a Real Madrid player, and whose national team is participating in the tournament. He said: The Spanish national team is big and ancient, and it succeeded in overcoming its first obstacles by defeating Croatia 3-0, and proved to everyone that it is ready, can be relied upon, and is able to go. To the furthest extent of the tournament, and the whole world is watching him because he plays very good football.
