“I’m not very happy with Kylian today. I think that on the goals, I have nothing to say but he can be better on several points. I have to watch the game again. I’m not very happy with Kylian today. There is nothing to say about the goals. But it can be better. I will analyze his match, and I will tell him in private. He is one of the best players in the world, but we need more. We want him to do more things! This is just my opinion”. Luis Enrique’s words after Kylian Mbappé’s hat-trick against Reims surprised many people on Saturday afternoon.
It must be said that the Bondynois had scored all three goals for the Parisians, therefore logically being the main architect of this victory. A surprising timing therefore, but which went in the same direction as the declarations of the principal concerned, who felt that he should and could do better in the game. “In all humility, I don’t need to play well to score, but what I want is to play well and score”thus launched the star of the Blues after this duel in Reims.
Some players are annoyed
And obviously, it’s not just Luis Enrique who has things to say about Kylian Mbappé’s way of playing. Daily life The Team thus reveals a little bombshell this Sunday. Some of his partners discussed the way the Bondynois played in the days following the defeat in Milan, particularly in terms of his role and his choices in the final meters. And many of them are annoyed by the fact that, according to them, KM7 plays above all for himself.
He would thus be too individualistic and would not necessarily seek to put his partners in the best position so that they shine. The mixed performances of Gonçalo Ramos or Randal Kolo Muani would be a symbol of this. It must be said that, this season, Mbappé especially seems to get along with Ousmane Dembélé or Achraf Hakimi on the pitch, and is still struggling to find automatisms with some of the new arrivals. Is this a deliberate choice or simply a matter of time? We’ll know soon…
