Mbappe continues Olivier Giroud beef ahead of big France match | OneFootball

France have yet to play their first game in the Euros yet, but already they have been in the news for the wrong reasons.

Of course we have Chelsea involvement in the French camp, and Olivier Giroud will be hoping to get the nod up top this week when they play their first match.

But as I said, already there has been drama in the French camp off the back of their warm up matches last week, and unfortunately Giroud has been involved.

There has been some beef between him and his team mate, Kylian Mbappe.

Giroud looked to want to squash the issue, but Mbappe is not seemingly allowing it to go, which is a very bad move ahead of the Euros. They need their camp to be united and have a good morale, but Mbappe has been moaning on Sky Sports about it all again today.

This is what Giroud has said..

“I was a little quiet because, sometimes, I make runs and the balls aren’t forthcoming,” Giroud said, “I am not saying that I always make the best runs but I am seeking to offer solutions in the box.”

And here is Mbappe’s response..

“It’s not what he said. Frankly, what he said doesn’t bother me. I’m a striker and it’s an opinion. He is expressing an opinion when he speaks. It doesn’t bother me.

“I’m a striker and I’ve had this feeling 365 times in a game and I will have it again, when you feel you’re not getting the service [of the ball]. It’s more about making it public.

“I congratulated him for scoring in the changing room, he didn’t say anything to me, and then I heard from the press. He didn’t say anything bad.

“He’s a striker, he wants to score goals, he’s near a record and when you’re a striker, whether you like it or not, it gets into your head. If he could have scored another goal he would have done so.

“But making it [the argument] public…I would have preferred to let him come and be even more vocal in the changing room. It’s happened to me. We have known each other for a while.

“You know what I am like in the changing room. If I have something to say to someone I say it. That’s not a problem but it stays in the changing room. But it’s not a problem, these are small trifles.

“And I don’t want this preparation, which has started well – because we have played some good matches – to be spoiled or for the squad to be affected because the squad doesn’t need this. We have some difficult challenges to face and we don’t need to create our own obstacles.”

Wow, what schoolboy stuff…
