Bacary Sagna Fan CLub

Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappé was not a happy man after his country France were knocked out of the Euros some weeks ago. He was particularly not impressed with his performances at the tournament and was also partly responsible for his side’s exit from the competition. In their match against Switzerland, Mbappé had a couple of chances to win the game for France but spurned those opportunities away until they had to settle for a 3-3 draw after extra time. The game had to be decided by penalties and even after being partly blamed for his missed chances during the game, he also missed a decisive spot-kick that confirmed Les Blues’ exit from the Euros.

While a lot of people went on to criticize him following the result of the fixture, some others have since been giving him some words of encouragement and support, including former Manchester City and France international defender Bacary Sagna.

Sagna has called on Mbappé to hold his head high and not blame himself for the outcome of the game against Switzerland, insisting that it was bigger than just him to handle. Sagna said football is a team sport and that all the blame should not be placed on Mbappé, citing that it would have a huge toll on his self-confidence if that continued to happen. Sagna also said that Mbappé should stop thinking about what happened that evening and that he should instead continue working hard to become a better player so he can correct his past mistakes.

The former Manchester City man said that the Paris Saint-Germain attacker still has a lot of time to improve on himself and his abilities before next year’s World Cup and that he should take advantage of that chance to become better so he can have a better World Cup tournament.

Former France international defender Bacary Sagna has called on the French country’s duo Kylian Mbappé and Olivier Giroud to put their differences aside before it explodes into something more serious. Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappé and Chelsea striker Giroud were involved in a major bust-up in one of their warm-up games before the commencement of their Euros campaign and the incident has continued to make waves in the media.

During the said game, it was discovered that Mbappé was notably interested in exchanging passes with Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema more than he did with Giroud even though the Chelsea man came off the bench to find the back of the net. After the match, during a post-match interview, Giroud mentioned that some people in the team were not interested in establishing link-up plays with him, making reference to the on-field incident.

However, after hearing Giroud’s statement, Mbappé, in his own interview, reacted furiously and questioned Giroud’s choice of words, saying that if they didn’t want to cooperate with him in attack, he would not have scored the goal he scored in the match.

The saga has brought back memories of the spat that occurred between Benzema and Giroud some years after Benzema was banned from playing for the France national team following his sex tape scandal years ago. And Sagna has now called on the players to make sure that they handle the case in a very mature manner so that it does not cause any problems among the squad.

According to Sagna, those little issues are bound to happen when there’s a group of people but what is important is how the problems and differences can be resolved on time before it affects the progress of the group as a whole.
