00:00Your captain, Kylian Mbappé, is missing. He's not injured, on the contrary.
00:06Why isn't he here?
00:09I had several talks with him, I thought about it, and I made this decision,
00:18on this gathering, of course, because I think it's better this way.
00:25What I can tell you is two things.
00:30One, that Kylian wanted to come,
00:34and two, that it's not the extra-sporting problems that come to mind
00:41from the moment when the presumption of innocence exists and must exist.
00:46So it's a choice, I repeat, that is punctual for this gathering,
00:52with the two games that await us.
00:55Is it better for him or for the French team?
00:57I was expecting this one.
01:00She's going to interpret it. It's better this way.
