Kylian Mbappé has been appointed as the new captain of the French national team. I don’t really know how I feel about this appointment considering the fact that they’re other eligible candidates like Antoine Griezmann and Oliver Giroud who has been in the team for quiet a long time. But I also understand that its not just Coach’s decision. Players also have a voice on who should lead them. He has been phenomenal for France lately, but giving him the armband is too much even for him. I feel there are other old and experience players in the team.
IMO, it doesn't matter who is the captain in a team. most importantly, he can be a good leader during match sessions and during training, both on the field and in the locker room. because, his role will be very central to his teammates. plus, takes responsibility for his teammates.
If Mbappe fulfills these requirements, then he deserves the title of captain. but if we refer to Mbappe's attitude, it seems that he is not fit to be the leader of a team. and I agree with what you said, that Antonio Griezman who deserves to be the captain of the French national team. but usually, the appointment of a captain in a team is the responsibility of the coach. because he was given the trust to be the team leader. perhaps, the appointment of captain to Mbappe was none other than his contribution during the Qatar 2022 world cup. that is why, Mbappe was appointed as the leader of the French national team. by the way, if that's the case. there is nothing wrong with that, maybe with him being appointed as team captain, his attitude and selfishness will change a lot. well, so we'll just take it from the positive value.
