This Wednesday, RMC Sport revealed the vice-captain chosen by head coach Zinedine Zidane for the France national team, while it was already known that Kylian Mbappé (27-year-old Real Madrid forward) would keep the captain’s armband. Ousmane Dembélé, the 29-year-old Paris Saint-Germain forward, was chosen, along with Adrien Rabiot (31-year-old AC Milan midfielder) and Jules Koundé (27-year-old FC Barcelona defender).
A choice that does not come as a big surprise, since Dembélé has earned a certain status in football and with Les Bleus. He also knows how to show a certain leadership on the pitch, and several teammates have highlighted his importance within the PSG squad. He is expected to carry out this role with the utmost determination, as well as deliver great performances on the field.
