BBC SPORTS Football Paris St-Germain forward Kylian Mbappe has been named as the new captain of the France national team. Mbappe has scored 36 goals in 66 appearances for France He succeeds Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris, who retired from international football in January. Mbappe, 24, has 66 caps for France since making his senior debut in 2017. "Kylian meets all the requirements to have this responsibility," France manager Didier Deschamps told French TV channel TF1 in an interview to be aired on Sunday. "On the field as in the life of the group, by being a unifying element." The French Football Federation (FFF) confirmed Deschamps had named Mbappe as captain and Atletico Madrid forward Antoine Griezmann as vice-captain on social media on Tuesday. Mbappe was the top scorer at last year's World Cup as he helped France reach a second straight World Cup final, where they were beaten by Argentina. He scored two goals in the 2018 final against Croatia and was named as the tournament's best young player as France were crowned world champions for a second time.

paulolee: Very disrespectful. We saw d way he acted on Neymar and Messi sometime back... The prideful tendency is still in him though he's a very good player. However, being the best player in a team should not be a determining factor in giving a player the captain band. Experience and ability to calm and control the dressing room should be major factors |
