‘Stop it!’: Mbappé defends Zidane after Le Graët’s ‘disrespect’ comments

The World Cup star Mbappé posted a message on his Twitter account late Sunday saying “ Zidane is France, you don’t disrespect a legend like that.”

In response to disrespectful remarks made toward the great Zinedine Zidane on Sunday by the president of the French soccer federation, Nol Le Grat, Kylian Mbappé has spoken out in defense of the former France captain.

Mbappé, a rising star in the World Cup, took to Twitter late on Sunday night to respond to comments made against France legend Zinedine Zidane. His tweet said, “Zidane is France, you don’t тrash a legend like that.”

Former playmaker Zidane, who led France to their first World Cup victory in 1998 and contributed to their second European Championship victory in 2000, is recognized as one of the game’s all-time greats. With these triumphs, France gained the title of “Les Bleus.” He scored in three World Cup finals, similar to Mbappé, but lost each of those games three times.

Le Graet made a guest appearance on the discussion program that was heard on RMC radio on Sunday. Le Graet recently oversaw the extension of Didier Deschamps’ contract, which now runs through July 2026. When Tite left his position as Brazil’s head coach, there were reports that Zidane was in the running to take Tite’s place. These rumors were brought up to him.

I would have to see a lot of evidence before I could think he would go there. But since it has nothing to do with me, I don’t care what he does. “I’ve never met with him [Zidane], and we [the FFF] have never contemplated reaking ways with Didier,” Le Grat reportedly said to RMC. Would the fact that Zidane visited that place enrage me? I don’t give a damn. He is free to join with any group he chooses, whether it be a prestigious club or even the national team… Did Zidane make any attempts to contact me? No, I wouldn’t have even bothered to pick up the phone in the first place.

Le Grat was not particularly mentioned in Mbappé’s tweet, but Amélie Oudéa-Castéra, France’s minister of sports, went further than Mbappé did. Amélie Oudéa-Castéra allegedly has a tense relationship with Le Grat. She asked Le Grat to apologize to Zidane on her behalf. She put his title inverted commas even though she addressed him as president.

Pedri is still playing well at Barca and Spain in the past 2 months. However, the performance of the midfielder in 2002 was not good enough for him to continue to improve his valuation on Transfer Markt.
