• According to a post shared many times on Facebook, the former player of the France team, and 1998 world champion, Zinédine Zidane, would have said that Kylian Mbappé would have an ego problem.

  • Neither the French press nor the foreign press heard of such a statement, which would otherwise not agree with what Zidane said about the French striker in the past.

We knew Kylian Mbappé accused of all the evils by many French people after this final missed goal in the match between the France team and Switzerland, Monday, and a mixed record of Euro 2021. But the injustice does not stop there for the young prodigy, who is now the target of a false publication on Facebook.

According to the latter, posted on June 29 by the Ebène Sport account - a sports news page followed by just under 500,000 subscribers - Real Madrid coach Zinédine Zidane, who does not hide his desire to become the next coach of the France team, would have had very harsh words for the striker: “I do not like to speak publicly about an individual player.

However, Kylian M'bappé quickly needs to revisit something that can hurt his career, and that thing is his ego.

France has had bigger legends that have never shown such an ego.

I'm afraid if he continues like this, he will drown.

"

However, it is impossible to find any trace of such a declaration, whether in the French or foreign press.

FAKE OFF

The

20 Minutes 

Sports department 

may have looked for it everywhere, this statement attributed to Zinédine Zidane is nowhere to be found. Yet such a bomb, which is dropped by a living legend of French football, it makes noise. Who would imagine that sentences like these could be uttered by the former captain of the French team, usually so reserved, without finding its place in the columns of 

L'Equipe

 ? Who among sports specialists could miss out on information like this? Nobody.

“I've known Zinédine Zidane since 2021, and it's not him. He would never say such things in public about a player he knows personally, and that he could coach in the future, ”told us a sports journalist from the Spanish daily

El País

, confirming at the same time that the Spanish press had never dealt with such information.

This statement would also not be in line with what Zinédine Zidane might have said about Kylian Mbappé in the future.

In April 2021, the PSG striker was part of a little bluesy after a failed international break with the Blues, and said he was "tired" of criticism against him, considering himself too scrutinized.

The 1998 world champion, at a press conference, had comforting words for the young Frenchman: “Football has always been like that.

[…] There will always be criticism when it is less good.

And there will be wonderful things about him when he is good.

It will never change.

A sentence obviously still relevant.
