The Liverpool defender and one of the leaders of France, after the absence of Mbappé and the farewell of Griezmann, talks about his colleagues: “Mbappé? He has no life, I don’t know if I could bear all the attention he has. booing at Lille? I understand why.” On Griezmann bidding farewell to the national team: “I was surprised, he was a true leader”
KONATE’, IN RETREAT WITH THE BALACLAVA – FRANCE, THE CALLED UP
First the arrival of Clairfontaine in the training camp as a “hooded man”, then the words about Griezmann and above all the words about Kylian Mbappé, not called up for this tranche of the Nations League, booed in Lille in the Champions League with Real Madrid and forced to endure the many pressures derived from his role as a ‘star’ in the French national team and club team. Ibrahima KonateLiverpool defender, has his say: “It has no life. It is proportional to everything that surrounds him – he says – Kylian generates reactions of all kinds. It’s not easy. Sometimes I put myself in his shoes and I don’t know if I could handle so much attention.” As for the boos received in Lille in the Champions League with the Real Madrid shirt: “I don’t understand why. It’s part of football, but it shouldn’t be easy to experience it in your country.”
“Griezmann was a leader, surprised by his farewell”
On the farewell to the French national team announced a few days ago by Antoine Griezmann: “He’s a true leader, with everything he did for France he deserved an extraordinary farewell. Everyone would have liked him to tell us at the meeting. I was too surprisedI told myself it couldn’t end like this.”
“Too many games? If there is a movement I will be part of it”
Konaté also spoke about a busy schedule for the players which could lead to a protest from them: “It’s a topic that shouldn’t be overlooked. In Liverpool there is no discussion, there is no pressure from the club – he explains again – We feel that some clubs prefer their players to stay but we also have to understand them, there are many games. The players are employees of the club even if the national teams are equally important. We have to stay fit all season and it’s tough but we can’t do it. If tomorrow there is a movement that can lead to an agreement, then I’m sure I’ll be in the game. And I think all the players will do the same.”
