France manager held ‘secret meeting’ with Real Madrid ace last year – report | OneFootball

Kylian Mbappe is one of the most important players in the French national team and it is clear that Les Bleus’ attack revolves around him to a great capacity.

However, Mbappe was left out of the national team squad for the last two international breaks that happened in October and November.

A lot was said about the possible reason for Mbappe’s ommission including his poor run of form at the time. Now, however, that is set to change once more.

A secret meeting

As relayed by AS in a recent update, Deschamps travelled to Madrid and met with Mbappe in a secret meeting at the end of last year to speak to the talisman and clarify his stance.

During that interaction, it was made clear that Deschamps still sees Mbappe as a central piece in his project and to continue that he will not only be a part of his plans but the captain of the team once more.

The international break has finally returned after close to four months and players have made their way to their respective national team camps.

Mbappe has joined with Les Bleus and captain the team for the upcoming games.

Over the next week, the French national team will lock horns with Croatia over two legs for a place in the semifinal of the UEFA Nations League. Needless to say, Mbappe’s form will account for a large part of the result.

After a silent start to life in Spain, Mbappe and exploded in recent weeks and has emerged as one of Real Madrid’s best and most consistent performers.

The 26-year-old megastar already has 26 league appearances to his name in which he has scored 20 goals and provided three assists. Further, he also has eight goal contributions in the UEFA Champions League.
