Before the start of the European Cup , the French team was considered to be the most promising team to win the European Cup. After all, they retained most of the World Cup winning team, coupled with the return of Real Madrid striker Benzema , the team's strength did not decline but rose. The French team, which has stars such as Mbappe, Griezmann, Dembele, Varane, etc., lost unexpectedly and was eliminated in the penalty shootout, which made people sigh. The conflict between Rabiot and Mbappe's family members in the stands after the game was considered to be a sign of internal strife in the French team.
Internal strife is not uncommon among major teams. It has happened countless times in the Dutch team . According to L'Equipe, the main reason for the internal strife in the French team is not because the team was eliminated from the European Cup. The team had already had signs of internal strife before the start of the European Cup, and Mbappe was the biggest "culprit" among them. In the report, L'Equipe stated that Mbappe hopes that Benzema can return to the French team because he hopes to replace Griezmann's core position in the team's lineup. He has become "jealous" of Griezmann.
Benzema's return this time was beyond the expectations of many people. After all, in such an important game as the 2018 World Cup, Benzema was not among the choices of Deschamps. Although Benzema has performed well in Real Madrid in the past two seasons and has become Real Madrid's top scorer for two consecutive seasons, this is not a reason to impress Deschamps. After all, the French team does not lack attackers. Whether it is Griezmann and Mbappe, or Dembele and Giroud, the French team are all capable of scoring goals and helping the team win. This is how they won the World Cup championship.
However, if Mbappe asked for this, there is some truth to it. Ever since he won the World Cup, Mbappe has become the hottest player in Europe. All the major clubs hope to get this talented shooter of the French team. His influence is also constantly expanding, and his status in the French team is also rising. If he makes a request and hopes that Benzema can return, Deschamps will definitely consider it. With the support of Benzema's excellent form and Mbappe's request, the return of the 32-year-old veteran center is a matter of course.
Mbappe's jealousy of Griezmann is nothing more than a problem at the core of the team's offense. In the past French team games, although Mbappe performed well, Griezmann's tactical position in the frontcourt was obviously higher than Mbappe's. At the same time, Griezmann is also the French team's top free kick free throw shooter. However, in this European Cup, Mbappe took most of the French team's free kicks. Even though he had never taken a free kick before, Deschamps still gave him the right to take the penalty. Griezmann could only regretfully retreat to the second line.
It is not terrible for the French team to lose. After all, even the strongest team will lose sometimes, but if it loses through internal strife, that is the most terrible thing. The French team formed by Deschamps is obviously still on the rise, but if it has to regretfully give up some players for this reason, it will definitely be a major loss for the French team. Whether giving up Mbappe or giving up Griezmann, it will affect the French team's record. The World Cup is approaching. Even if Deschamps repeatedly claims that the team has no problems, no one blames Mbappe, but is this really the case?
