PSG: Luis Enrique insists! His strong words for Mbappé’s “haters”

It’s a habit that accompanies Kylian Mbappé’s sensational start to his career. The most decisive player in Europe for 5 years, the French world champion is criticized with each contrasting performance, when he does not find the net. The Paris Saint-Germain star striker was able to see it again after his average performance at Clermont (0-0) and especially his failed match at Newcastle (1-4).

If the demands with Kylian Mbappé are maximum, Luis Enrique does not hesitate to speak out to defend his star. In an interview given to the official UEFA website, the Paris Saint-Germain coach was rave about Bondy’s prodigy. For the Spaniard, there is no doubt: Kylian Mbappé is the world number 1.

“I have to say that I already knew Mbappé as a footballer before coming to the club; he is a high level, world class player, enthused the PSG coach this week. What I can add is that his technical and physical potential reinforces my idea that he is without a shadow of a doubt the best player in the world, and I am not saying that only because I am his manager, but for what I see in general. However, I also think he is very much part of the inner circle of three or four elite players who can take it upon themselves and win a match single-handedly and, for me, Kylian is number one. »

On the human side, Luis Enrique makes even stronger comments. “Even though it seems impossible, ‘Kylian the person’ is even better than ‘Kylian the player’, simply because of what he brings off the field, his attitude, what he brings out from his teammates, the smile which he displays during every training session. He is demanding, he is competitive. We are fortunate not only to have such a special and unique player, but also to have a player who brings important values ​​and who is a good role model for any young player or young supporter. » An exit which should not leave the attacker indifferent.
