00:00How did the group react to everything that's been happening around Kylian for the past few weeks?
00:05Is it a subject of discussion?
00:07Is it a subject of concern in the context of the upcoming meetings?
00:12No, no, I don't think it's a concern.
00:15We shouldn't forget what Kylian did for the French team.
00:20I think we lack a bit of recognition for him.
00:26I hope to see him again very soon.
00:29We shouldn't forget that he's our captain.
00:32We're human beings after all.
00:35As I said, mental abscess is very important for us footballers.
00:41But I won't go into details.
00:44As I said, he's our captain.
00:48I hope to see him again very soon because he's very important to us.
00:52Is the question, to make it a bit lighter around the French team,
00:56about the fact that the armband might be too heavy for him today,
00:59is it a question for you?
01:01About him being captain in March, for example.
01:05No, not at all.
01:08As I said, he's a great player.
01:12He's a friend too.
01:15I know what he's capable of.
01:17As I said, I hope he comes back.
01:21As soon as he comes back, I hope he'll take back the armband.
