The dismissal of Kylian Mbappé by the management of Paris Saint-Germain was not without reacting to the striker’s teammates.
The information had the effect of a small bomb this Friday. Yet present and scorer in the friendly match won by PSG against Le Havre, Kylian Mbappé was left on the floor by his leaders who decided not to take him for the tour in Japan. A way to make the player understand that if he did not extend quickly, he would not be part of the Parisian plans this season.
If the affair has made the media and the public talk a lot, it has necessarily had an impact internally. Kylian Mbappé’s teammates thus reacted in their own way and according to an indiscretion of RMC, was the astonishment that prevailed in the Parisian ranks. Obviously, and even if they know the context, the players of Paris Saint-Germain were surprised by the choice of their leaders to do without the services of the 2018 world champion.
From surprise to fatalism?
And their surprise could well continue to perhaps turn into fatalism, since Kylian Mbappé does not seem ready to change his tune in the duel which now opposes him to his club. The Bondynois would remain more than ever determined not to give in to pressure, even if it means spending most of the season on the bench. If the scenario of last year suggests that a reversal of the situation is not to be excluded definitively, things seem for the moment well and truly blocked. And the Parisian locker room to remain taken aback.
