He deserves it with what he’s done at the World Cup and with PSG as well. Konate slams critics of Kylian Mbappe's captaincy credentials “He’s a very good leader, on and off the pitch. He’s a young lad who loves to laugh and have fun, nothing more. He’s a very good person. Some may think he’s arrogant. It’s something I was asked about in my club and elsewhere. To them, I say ‘Are you crazy? He’s so nice.’ Of course, he will be a good skipper.” Also responding to claim of Atletico Madrid star, Antonio Griezmann who turned 32 on the day of the announcement, reacting badly to it, Konate added; “I did not see him sulking at all. Besides, it’s his birthday.“
