Mbappe Reveals He Has Been Affected By Giroud Criticism

Mbappe Reveals He Has Been Affected By Giroud Criticism

Kylian Mbappe says he has been affected by criticism from France teammate Olivier Giroud.

Despite scoring two goals as a substitute in a friendly game against Bulgaria last week, Giroud expressed dissatisfaction with some aspects of Mbappe’s play when in possession of the ball.

Mbappe was reportedly livid with Giroud’s decision to go public with his complaints and the Paris Saint Germain superstar has attempted to clear the air on the situation.

"I spoke with Olivier Giroud. Everyone knows what happened," Mbappe said at a press conference.

"It is true that I was a little affected by it. But we are not going to make a big deal about it because we are here to represent France, that is the most important thing.

"What he said didn't bother me more than that, I'm a striker and I've had this feeling 365 times in a game.

"I congratulated him in the locker room, he didn't say anything to me and then I heard from the press. He didn't say anything bad. It's more the fact of talking about it publicly, I would have preferred to let him come and be even more vocal in the locker room. But that's not a problem, these are small trifles. The team does not need us to get in the way."

France begin their EURO 2020 campaign with a game against Germany on Tuesday before taking on Portugal and Hungary.
