At the heart of the turmoil after his stormy outing in Brest, Kylian Mbappé saw David Ginola and Laure Boulleau come to his defense.
A controversy erupted on the lawns of Ligue 1 this Sunday. A godsend for Kylian Mbappé, who was in fact the target of very strong criticism after the match played in Brest on Sunday, a few hours before the cancellation of the match between Olympique de Marseille and Olympique Lyonnais at the Vélodrome following the stone attack. of the Lyon players’ bus which caused Fabio Grosso’s facial injury.
If the French world champion signed a new double, the former Monegasque scoring the winning goal thanks to a penalty scored in two stages, his gestures to pacify the Breton public at the time of his exit a few minutes later caused a lively controversy. For certain observers, like the journalist Bertrand Latour, to whom Kylian Mbappé also responded, it is in fact inconceivable that the captain of the France team would have such behavior.
Others, however, have difficulty understanding the relentlessness to which the Bondynois was subjected. “He was a little upset, but it’s human, there’s nothing wrong”, thus estimated Laure Boulleau on the set of Canal Football Club. Same story in the mouth of his sidekick David Ginola. “We agree, it should stop there: the referee reacted with the yellow card, we should not make a controversy on social networks. He didn’t do anything, he didn’t give the middle finger either,” he said.
The tone was much more vehement in the Brest camp. “It’s a bit ridiculous. I’m not even going to name names, but I find the attitude ridiculous on the part of certain Parisians. They don’t need to add more, they won the match, that’s very good, well done. When you’re a high-level player, we’ve all experienced that, outside, you get heckled, said Eric Roy, the Finistère coach. There are things you shouldn’t do when you’re a top player, I’m not going to say more. »
