“I suffered so much to see Hugo Lloris inflict this on himself…”
Didier Deschamps decided in favor of Kylian Mbappe who will now be the captain of France. A role that has so far been occupied by Hugo Lloris, who decided to retire from international football after the World Cup in Qatar. The end of an anomaly for Roland Corbis.
On the subject of the captaincy, we have often heard you object to the captaincy being given to a goalkeeper. Such was the case with Hugo Lloris, who stopped. Are you relieved to see that Deschamps has changed his tune?
Let me be clear, I have absolutely nothing against goalkeepers. on the contrary ! And in order to support them, I have always supported the following position. In my eyes, the goalkeeper is as important a position as he is special. So special that we can even consider that they don’t play the same sport. The proof, they don’t even have the same shirt as the others! Their position is so special and so complex and so difficult that I don’t understand how one can add the responsibility of the captaincy to the goalkeeper. Nonsense…
However, Hugo Lloris took that job for years with the Blues?
And how did you feel when he came to a press conference, and he was constantly being subjected to annoying questions? I suffered a great deal, and I, to see him inflict it… But stop torturing this man, I said to myself! On a psychological level, in his preparation, he has a lot of elements to take into account…
