00:00Your captain, Kylian Mbappé, is missing.
00:03He's not injured, to the contrary.
00:06Why isn't Kylian here?
00:08Because I think it's better this way.
00:16First, because Kylian wanted to come.
00:19And second, because it's not the extra-sporting problems
00:24that come into play from the moment
00:27the presumption of innocence exists and must exist.
00:30So it's a choice, I repeat,
00:32that is specific to this meeting.
00:35A captain who is absent for the second time in a row
00:38of a meeting, I think it's totally unprecedented
00:40in the history of the French team.
00:42With Kylian, we can disagree on certain issues.
00:46I exchange and then it's my responsibility
00:49to make the decisions.
00:52I took this one, I repeat, on this meeting.
00:55Because I think it's better this way.
00:58How do you judge his debut with Real Madrid,
01:01Kylian Mbappé?
01:03And is there a reflection on the fact
01:05that he is no longer captain of the French team
01:07in the future for a little more lightness,
01:09both for him and around the French team?
01:11Today it's not the subject.
01:14After the performances, I'm not going to ...
01:17He joins a team too.
01:20Everyone has his own analysis
01:23on what he does or what he doesn't do,
01:25what he does well or less well.
01:27I'm talking about Kylian with all his qualities,
01:30even if he can have them too.
01:32He scored goals, he will score again, a lot.
01:35I'm convinced of that.
01:37He is in a period where he is less effective,
01:41of course, and from there,
01:43he is judged a lot on that too.
01:48Very quickly on Kylian,
01:50I listened carefully.
01:52You said you had disagreements.
01:54No, no, no, I didn't say disagreements.
01:57I said we can't agree on everything,
01:59it's not being disagreements.
02:01You don't agree on what?
02:03It's up to you.
