You can expect even the best to keep changing over a period of time. Kylian Mbappe has found himself in everyone’s boat in that case. Known to be clear on his expectations, the winger always wanted to be at the forefront of every attack he played for. But now the talisman feels a changed mindset after receiving the captain’s armband for France’s national team.

Mbappe is the most desired player for the country as well as clubs around the world. But one could assume that being headstrong could hamper his longevity as a captain. However, the star has claimed to have the willingness to adapt to the team, which matters most.

Kylian Mbappe has earned his captain’s band after years of consistent performances for the country. But after his takeover, the team looks to be even stronger. Les Bleus demonstrated their dominance in a recent match against Gibraltar, in which Mbappe revealed that he has become a team player now. Once considered to desire everything for himself, Mbappe admitted that changing was something he could not avoid.

In a recent interview, Mbapper said, “The armband forces you to change. Even if you don’t want to change, You’re not fit to be captain if you don’t change. As they say, only idiots don’t change.”

France won with a thumping score of 14-0, their record-breaking feat in European qualifiers. The whole team had eight different players on the scoresheet, with Mbappe having a hattrick of goals and assists. The captain also issued a warning to other teams ahead of Euro 2024 next year. However, the club situation has not been comfortable for the World Cup Golden Boot winner.

Mbappe’s next club

The situation for Mabppe has turned into a sandstorm. The issue fell into a tangle after his indecisiveness to join Real Madrid or continue at PSG. However, the 24-year-old neither seems to be worried about it nor wants to talk. The player is content with his national team’s performance and chooses to ignore the club topic.
