France's national team: internal tensions ahead of Euro 2024 qualifiers
The Euro 2024 qualifiers are coming up for the France national team, and things haven't been so peaceful within the club after Didier Deschamps chose Kylian Mbappé as the team captain. Player Antoine Griezmann apparently didn't react well to this decision and showed his 'disagreement'.
According to the information provided by 'L'Équipe', the talents have met to 'smooth things over' for the common good of the team. According to the media, Mbappé understood Griezmann's disappointment after not being chosen as captain, but "counted on him" to be one of the main leaders on this path of the French national team.

Apparently, both players have reached a good agreement and settled an issue that would only affect their national team. For now, both are focused on the upcoming matches against the Netherlands for the Euro 2024 qualifiers, where the presence of the players for these matches is crucial.
Griezmann is a reference for the French national team
Antoine is one of the most important players of the French national team in the last decade. He made his debut in 2014, led his team to the final of the Euro 2016, became world champion in Russia 2018, and was one of the best figures in the 2022 Qatar tournament. This shows that wearing an armband is not necessary to be a leader on the field.
