The opening of the European Cup is just around the corner, but the French team, which is regarded by the outside world as favorites to win, has sounded discordant voices. A few days ago, Giroud came off the bench in a friendly against Bulgaria. In the end, he scored twice in 7 minutes to help the team win. However, surprisingly, Giroud pointedly said in an interview after the game: "In the game, I seemed a little quiet. Sometimes I ran in place, but my teammates did not pass the ball over. I Try to communicate with my teammates as much as possible, while seeking solutions to problems in the penalty area."

While claiming that he was unable to get the support of his teammates, Giroud also publicly expressed his gratitude to Pawar and Ben Yeder who provided him with assists: "Because of the two outstanding assists of Ben Yeder and Pavard, I We can finish this game in good condition; but if the efficiency of the French team can be higher, we can score more goals."

According to the French media "L'Equipe" (L'Equipe), Giroud’s statement seems to be vaguely directed towards Mbappe, because the latter has been sending a pass for Benzema before his injury, but he was in Kyrgyzstan. After Lu appeared on the stage, he chose to attack many times. The paper further revealed that Giroud's remarks made Mbappé furious, and the Paris star even expressed to France coach Deschamps that he hoped to attend the press conference on Thursday in order to respond to Giroud's remarks. In order to avoid the complete publicity of the contradiction, Deschamps stopped Mbappe's irrational behavior in time, and finally showed up at the press conference with Pogba.

Regarding the suspected contradiction between Mbappe and Giroud, Pogba strongly denied it at the press conference, and tried to calm the situation with a joke: "The tension in the team? The only tension is our back and legs, but all of this. All the physiotherapists are in charge.... Our atmosphere has always been good. Let us go straight to the subject: There is no problem between Giroud and Mbappé. In front of me, there is nothing!"

According to the latest news from "RMC Sports", after learning of Mbappe's dissatisfaction, Giroud had a conversation with Mbappe after lunch on Thursday, local time, trying to clarify possible misunderstandings with his teammates. He said that he was a little bit careless in the interview, especially after he felt the reporter's aggressiveness. Giroud also claimed that he was not targeting Mbappe alone. He recalled many similar actions during the interview, including Kanter and Pawar.

Although Giroud confessed his mistake to Mbappé, the young star remained depressed in the subsequent training. Upon seeing this, Deschamps had a separate conversation with Mbappe and Giroud, and finally he called the whole team to explain that even if Giroud did make a communication error, everyone must continue to move forward. After the talks, Mbappe sent an assist for Giroud in a small match within the team, and the Chelsea forward also gave Mbappe a hug after scoring. However, "RMC Sports" finally stated that the tension of the French team still exists.
