Deschamps: If Mbappe is injured, he will quit; it is better to be a brother than a real brother

11:19pm, 6 October 2025【Football】

Hupu October 6th French national team coach Didier Deschamps attended the pre-match press conference against Azerbaijan.

Talking about the injury issues between Mbappe and the team. There will always be injuries before the list is announced, and there may also be injuries after the list is announced. I have no more information to provide to you at this moment.

I will emphasize this regardless of the players and clubs after they arrive (...) Mbappe is here, he has a little problem, but it is not serious, otherwise he would not be in Clay Fontaine today.

Talk Matta was selected for the adult national team for the first time, which was an important moment for him. Yes, the competition is fierce and there are some players absent, but I won't complain that there are many players who can make it to the 23-man roster.

Talking about the situation in Azerbaijan

I know very well that you think we will win this game. But this is not to underestimate them. Obviously, we are forcing them to defend, which is very likely. These three points are as important as the six points we scored in September.

Speaking about the Prince Emery of Paris returning to France u21 training

I have not talked directly to Warren. But what we can say is that the national youth team and the national team are important bridge relationships... Warren's situation is quite special because he has a certain influence in our team, but he doesn't play much time. This is not a force player.

As long as all parties think it is reasonable and he is happy, Gerald Batticle will recruit him into the team.

Talk about Bayern's core Olisse

Michael has talked with all the players. He just joined Bayern after the Olympics and performed very well. After joining Bayern, he had to become stronger.

He is more restrained and shy, which may be related to language barriers. If you don't believe it, his English is better than French... He is a person who doesn't like to show up very much. I think he may not be a good potential interviewer for you…he has great potential and is very professional.

How did he view the criticism of Schellier in France? Because his performance in Paris seems to be unstable.

September is already like this. He has achieved some pretty good things in Lille, and he knows that. He is also a young goalkeeper. Obviously, with the exposure of Paris media, even the smallest details or mistakes will cause greater responses.

Will France conduct a large rotation of the lineup in October?

It is observed that most of them are already exhausted when they come here, and that's how it is. Basically, our international players played three games a week before reporting here. I have to schedule the game more reasonably than in September. They are in good health and can play.

Talking about Lucas' situation

Lucas performed well, yes, he has more and more playing time. The national team is very helpful to him, as always. Although he sometimes plays fullback, he is more like a central defender.

By the way, by the way, I don't agree with all kinds of criticisms about his younger brother Teo, which is a bit too much.

By the way, when it comes to the relationship between two pairs of brothers in the French team, although the players in the team call each other 'bro long and short', these two pairs are real brothers. I don't always pay attention to their collective lives. They don't necessarily have to be next to each other in the locker room.

They have a deep family bond, which is better for themselves and their parents, and their parents must be proud of it...The two brothers have not necessarily the same personalities... From a human perspective, this is a very positive thing.

Speaking of Rabio's state after returning to Serie A, Rabio played a series of games in the club, and his condition was quite good, and it could even be said to be very good. He is in better shape. Apart from the unusual holiday this September, I have no special expectations for his performance.

His system in Milan is different, but he knows what I expect from him. He will also be involved. Judging from the competitive state, playing a series of games will only be better for us.
