Criticized by his coach despite a hat-trick in Reims (3-0), Kylian Mbappé joined the Spanish technician on a very specific point.
Kylian Mbappé is a man of challenge. And great champion that he is. And Luis Enrique understood this well. Always complimentary of his star player, the Spanish technician chose a hat-trick day to reproach him. A rather curious outing which did not go unnoticed.
“I’m not really happy with him today. On the goals, I have nothing to say but he can be better in a different way. I’ll talk to him about it, I won’t tell you what it is because it’s private. I think Kylian is one of the best players in the world, but we need more. We want him to do more things”launched the Spaniard, before repeating this speech several times.
If we can imagine that Kylian Mbappé did not remain indifferent to this criticism, the top scorer in the history of PSG himself gave a speech which is not in contradiction with that of his coach. A few minutes earlier, the Bondy prodigy had admitted on Prime Video that he could improve his game. “In all humility, I don’t need to play well to score, but what I want is to play well and score.”
Mbappé to Donnarumma: “Real MVP”
There is another point where Kylian Mbappé and Luis Enrique came together on Saturday evening: the impact of Gianluigi Donnarumma. With the Italian, the PSG coach was not stingy with compliments. “ Donnarumma is impressive, but I know him. I suffered when I faced him, but I love having him as a coach. He’s a wonderful goalkeeper, we see it in training, it’s difficult to score against him. He is a very focused person. »
Words which reflect the thoughts of Kylian Mbappé, since the latter also spoke on social networks to salute the XXL performance of his last rampart. Under a publication by Gianluigi Donnarumma, the striker wrote “ REAL MVP“. A way of designating Donnarumma as the man of the match, despite his hat-trick.
