Kylian Mbappé’s very turbulent summer continues to fuel debate, in France and abroad.
If Paris Saint-Germain has started a new project with Kylian Mbappé as the sole head of the gondola, the contrasting performance of the Bondy prodigy challenges observers. Mbappé was the arrow of the capital club. Neymar or Lionel Messi were his bows. The departures of the two South Americans leave a fairly visible void in terms of creativity. A lack that the Frenchman tries to fill by sometimes playing unnaturally.
According to former French international Vikash Dhorasoo, it would have been preferable for Kylian Mbappé to continue to evolve alongside the two other superstars to receive their caviars. “He wanted to be the boss of PSG, he’s the boss. He has some responsibility for the departures of Neymar and Messi, he is free from all that, he is the boss of this team. Wasn’t he ultimately better off with the other two on the pitch to give him the assists? In the last matches, someone is missing in the middle to create the game so it goes down too much. Who can bring the danger elsewhere to create a diversion, who will allow him to find depth? »launched the 2006 world vice-champion on La Chaîne L’Équipe.
“He is more exposed now”
“It was easier to play with Neymar and Messi, Dhorasoo continued.. Now he’s the boss of PSG. Before, he shared it with two other players who also did a lot of stupid things so Mbappé was guilty about his life on the side, now he is more exposed. Is he capable of carrying this team? I have a little doubt. In the French team for example, he is captain, was that useful? I don’t know if he needed all that…”, concluded Dhorasoo.
