I just received a call that my dad just passed on..

Well, death is a debt everyone must pay so am not much surprised it's my dad's turn to pay up... Although didn't fathom it could be this early

Anyways I believe he is in a better place now

I'm sorry to hear this bro
My condolences.

Branzy:
Mbappe on why he doesn't pass to Giroud as much as to Benzema: They both are different players. Benzema participates in the build up play but Giroud just stays up top. It's a little unhealthy. You imply that I don't want to pass Giroud. I say that they are different profiles

Kylian Mbappé in press conference: "I spoke with Olivier Giroud. Everyone knows what happened. 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."

This boy should be humble

Why not post the entire storyline.

After a friendly game, Giroud said to the interviewer that some of his teammates refused to pass to him, mbappe got pissed for saying this in public and not personally in the dressing room

So sorry boss. Take heart.

May he rest easy.

Meanwhile Sarri wants Kepa back. Lazio looking to bring him in on loan, and they'll pay half of his wages.

All I see here is guilty conscience.

According to your screenshots, Giroud said "certain individuals". Since when is Mbappe's name "certain individuals"?

Mbappe should grow up abeg.

Guy is a goalscorer although forced to do a yeomans job at West Brom. One more loan to a team that will play him in an advanced position

Thanks, I share your view especially a team not battling relegation.

Totally agree. Dude was one of their best players in his first season in the top flight. Wasn't really happy that he went to West Brom in the first place, I'm also hoping he gets a loan to a better team.

Both of them messed up to me. I just hope it doesn't affect the team chemistry, this one Mbappe was saying he doesn't accept the apology. He needs to chill.

If what that guy posted is true, then it's Giroud that needs to grow up. Giroud should've taken it up with Mbappe in private instead of saying that in front of the press....

Why go to the press and start saying some of Ur teammates aren't passing enough to u when u could've asked those teammates what the issue was and why they aren't carrying u along in the game play?

Except we get another goal keeper, I don't see Kepa leaving.

I'm not absolving Giroud of any blame. Maybe he made the statement in the heat of the moment? Its not right to throw your teammates under the bus, but why should Mbappe carry the matter for head and call press conference? Was he named? That's where my "grow up" comment came from.

If he is not feeling guilty, he should have let it slide like other team mates did.

True words. There was no need for it to balloon to what it is now.

Maybe u should see it as a case of Mbappe being bold where Giroud decides to act as a coward.

Giroud did wrong going to the press with such issue instead of taking it up with his teammates. He acted as coward by making such blank statements ; mbappe on the other hand knows Giroud was talking about the attackers/midfielders (himself inclusive ) not passing the ball to him as frequently as he would’ve love..... so he took the bull by the horn and called him out the same way he did his teammates.

Initially I thought Mbappe was wrong to have gone to the press saying all that , but when I knew Giroud started it ......mehn I think Giroud deserves what he’s got.

exactly

We should remember that Mbappe is 21, he also said Giroud's statement affected him.

Let's hope such nonsense as not passing the ball stops.

Giroud isn't one to make such a complain except it is glaring obvious, secondly, Mbappe doesn't deny that he acted in such a manner nor does he apologize for it, instead he defends himself. Then even without his name being mentioned he responds with press and ignores him in training. There's more to it than what we read.

A striker cannot be open repeated times and you don't pass when you can.

If you compare the kind of service Benzema was getting and wasting to the the ones Giroud got.

Total summary of what happened.

After scoring two goals against Bulgaria, Giroud said in press conference that some players often don't pass the ball to him. The medias all blamed Mbappe by saying that Giroud was talking about him.

Deschamps quickly came in front of the journalists to put down the controversy. But it was too late the journalists only talked about Mbappe not passing to Giroud during the post-game analysis and the next few days in the newspapers/radios/TV.

Mbappé was furious and wanted to come to the medias to defend himself but Deschamps refused and sent Pogba for France first media day.


Yesterday was finally Mbappe's media day and journalists spoke about the story again asking him why he passes to Benzema more than Giroud. He responded very well by saying that he was disappointed that Giroud did not tell him directly but said it in front of the journalists. And he also explained that Benzema and Giroud have two different profiles. It is normal that he makes more passes to Benzema but that it is purely football and nothing personal because Giroud stay upfront while Benzema drop to participe to the build up and all.

the difference between a star and a moon is unfathomable, stars give planets life, a moon is locked to the gravity of it's parent planet and enjoys all the benefits while assisting the planet with it's own small gravity

lewandowski is a star, giroud is a moon, I watched that world cup and nobody in their right senses will say that france deserved it, they played negative football and relied on counter to win games, the game against belgium was a disgrace, absolute robbery, they didn't give player of the tournament to france because none of them deserved it.

Which kind ridiculous comparison be that, nobody will remember giroud when he retires

Giroud made the statement after the Bulgaria match. That was last Tuesday day, almost a week now.

According to reports, Mbappe wanted to come out public with his own statement at once on the matter, but was held back by the coach. Both Deschamps and Giroud have even tried to apologise and settle the matter internally.

Almost one week later, Mbappe is still carrying the matter in his heart and still had to talk about it. Now who is trying to undermine the team's spirit? No doubt, the journalist asked him about the incident, but must he comment on it?

It's ironical that Mbappe say he doesn't want to make a big story out of it but that's exactly what he just did.

He said he had no problem with what Giroud said, but his problem is coming out publicly to say it instead of tackling it internally, in the dressing room. My question is, does two wrongs make a right? Did he have to act like Giroud (coming out publicly) before he settle the matter? And, almost a week after the comment is made....

Mbappe should grow up abeg.
