[0:12](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/rDC3duBFiAjw/en/mbapp%C3%A9-dou%C3%A9-or-olise-who-is-the-leader-of-france-s-national-team?t=12) France is still Kylian Mbappé’s team, because Kylian Mbappé has already proved himself, specifically, in major international tournaments.

No, I expect more from him.

[0:33](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/rDC3duBFiAjw/en/mbapp%C3%A9-dou%C3%A9-or-olise-who-is-the-leader-of-france-s-national-team?t=33) That's why I'm even hesitant to say Olise is the boss of the French team.

[0:37](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/rDC3duBFiAjw/en/mbapp%C3%A9-dou%C3%A9-or-olise-who-is-the-leader-of-france-s-national-team?t=37) No, because Olise, sadly, in knockout games with the French team at the last World Cup, he didn't show up.

[0:43](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/rDC3duBFiAjw/en/mbapp%C3%A9-dou%C3%A9-or-olise-who-is-the-leader-of-france-s-national-team?t=43) And yet, I'm a huge fan of the player. I think he has this creative side that's, uh, extraordinary.

[0:48](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/rDC3duBFiAjw/en/mbapp%C3%A9-dou%C3%A9-or-olise-who-is-the-leader-of-france-s-national-team?t=48) He's vital, maybe for the French team, but the boss? No, I wouldn't go that far.

[0:52](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/rDC3duBFiAjw/en/mbapp%C3%A9-dou%C3%A9-or-olise-who-is-the-leader-of-france-s-national-team?t=52) I think that's far too strong. So I wouldn't say that about Désiré Doué either.

[0:56](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/rDC3duBFiAjw/en/mbapp%C3%A9-dou%C3%A9-or-olise-who-is-the-leader-of-france-s-national-team?t=56) To me, a boss, you know, Griezmann really became the boss at Euro 2016, when he had a very strong tournament at Euro 2016.

[1:02](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/rDC3duBFiAjw/en/mbapp%C3%A9-dou%C3%A9-or-olise-who-is-the-leader-of-france-s-national-team?t=62) Even Zidane, uh, Zidane, Before the 1998 World Cup, he's a key player, but is he really the leader of the French team?

[1:08](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/rDC3duBFiAjw/en/mbapp%C3%A9-dou%C3%A9-or-olise-who-is-the-leader-of-france-s-national-team?t=68) I'm not sure. I think he becomes the leader after major international tournaments like the 1998 World Cup.

[1:13](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/rDC3duBFiAjw/en/mbapp%C3%A9-dou%C3%A9-or-olise-who-is-the-leader-of-france-s-national-team?t=73) So, uh, I'm not going to tell you that Doué, is the leader of the attack for the French team after Nations League matches.
