After the forceful criticism that Noël Le Graët, president of the French Football Federation, made against Zinedine Zidane for the rumors of his arrival in the Brazilian national team, Kyliann Mbappé used his social networks to defend the former footballer.
“Zidane is Franceso let’s not disrespect the legend…”, commented the Paris Saint Germain star after Le Graët’s words.

In an interview with RMC Sports, the president of the FFF was asked about the rumors about the hiring of “Zizou” as coach by Brazil. “Zidane with Brazil? I don’t know, I’d be surprised. He does what he wants, it’s none of my business. I’ve never seen him, we’ve never thought about separating from Didier Deschamps,” he said.
Likewise, Le Graët manifested some anger against the former Real Madrid in his following statements. “Did Zidane try to contact me? Of course not, I would not have even attended to him the phone“, he expressed.
On Saturday afternoon, Didier Deschamps -who arrived at the French national team in 2012- signed the extension of his contract until June 2026.
