Do you have a feeling that the captain of the French national team may be about to substitute?

For any national team, the choice of captain is of great significance. Needless to say, strength is a basic condition; in addition, you must be able to keep the field and have strong psychological quality. Whether it is negotiations with opponents and referees, or internal shock and comforting teammates, at least, you must not be in trouble first. This has nothing to do with being extroverted and introverted. In short, you have to stand up at critical moments.

In fact, if you can be the main player of the national team, you should be able to pass the strength. Therefore, what is more important about the captain is his ability to be prestige and control. In this regard, sometimes qualifications can be provided. Like Lori. I always feel that in a horizontal comparison, Lori is not a top goalkeeper. Can you compare him with Neuer and Casillasby of the same period? Not to mention these people, the top four goalkeepers in the 2022 World Cup, Martin, Livakovic, and Bunu, all had magical performances in the penalty shootout in the previous stage, only Lori did not. In contrast, can Lori compare to Badz? So if Lori was able to be the captain of the French national team for more than ten years, if the previous few years were based on his personality stability and could easily be revealed from the group of French thorn players, then in the next few years, he would really be qualified. It is a very sensitive issue for a player who has been the captain for more than ten years to withdraw from the national team and the head coach chooses the new captain. Deschamps chose Mbappe. In 2022, Mbappe is only 24 years old, and there are players in the team who are older than him. So what is Deschamps’ choice based on? If Lori has a qualification to eat, then Mbappe is the prestige brought to him by the peak of eating. In the 2022 World Cup final, the French team sleepwalking for 80 minutes, only Mbappe stood up and scored three goals, and only Mbappe performed stably in the penalty shootout. In this final, Mbappe's big heart characteristics were revealed, which was more important than qualifications. Coupled with the 8-goal data in a single World Cup, it tied Ronaldo and Mbappe's halo, reaching the most eye-catching moment of his career. To be honest, although France lost in this final, it was even better for Mbappe's personal performance than when he won the cup four years ago. Since such a treasured player was trained, Deschamps pushed him to the front desk and assigned a big position to the Big Heart. And Deschamps has another consideration, perhaps this is his unilateral idea - in the next ten years, there will be no better players in France than Mbappe. Therefore, 24-year-old Mbappe has the ability to rule the national team for ten years. So, in 2025, the problem is coming. Now, do you still think Mbappe is the best player in France? It's time to let Dembele say a few words. A few years ago, no one expected that Dembele suddenly rose at the 3rd node, and it was soaring. In the past, he was just a talented player with outstanding talent but worrying football business, but now, he has quietly grown into a top superstar. The background of the Triple Crown King allows him to stay ahead in the 2025 Golden Globe Awards. If nothing unexpected happens, this year's Golden Globe Awards should be his. If this is true, can Mbappe still suppress him in the national team? In fact, after 2022, Mbappe has rarely performed well in the national team. That final even became his pinnacle, and then it began to go downhill. What do you think of Mbappe's performance in 2024? The most impressive thing is that mask. Of course, it is not that the best player must be the captain. There is no necessary connection between the two. Just like during the more than ten years he was the captain, Lori was definitely not the best player in France every year. But the question is, Mbappe has been pushed to that position, and now his position has suddenly declined. Is this sense of gap a bit obvious? The key is that when Deschamps first chose Mbappe, it must have considered that most of the French national team were black, and Dembele was also black, so there was no sense of incongruity on this level. It is said that Mbappe has stated that he may step down as captain. Perhaps, he already felt that his energy could not take into account his personal performance and control the entire team. Of course, as the saying goes, the best player may not be directly linked to the captain, so Dembele may not be the best candidate for the captain. So, if Mbappe stepped down, then France might choose the second "Lori" - it depends on who the big brother is now in the team.
