Luis Enrique’s little dig addressed to Kylian Mbappé fueled numerous debates.
“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.”
It is in these terms, repeated 3 times, that Luis Enrique described Kylian Mbappé’s performance in Reims, while the captain of the France team, author of a hat-trick, was the great architect of the victory of PSG alongside Gianluigi Donnarumma (3-0).
“He is disappointed for the moment”
For Christophe Dugarry, this observation arises from a more global assessment of the star’s performance. “The exit of Luis Enrique does not surprise me, he is a provocateur, we know that, he is a boy who is not afraid and who has certainties,” said the 1998 world champion on RMC. In his head, he is convinced of his football, of his way of playing football. And I think he’s disappointed, he’s disappointed for the moment, even if he doesn’t necessarily say it because he’s not going to expose himself either.”
“He is questioned by journalists, he is not going to spread out and throw everything away, Dugarry continued.. There are things he can say, things he can’t say. He has several levers at his disposal and this includes heckling a few players. So, you have to find the right time to heckle players, especially your best players,” concluded the ex-international.
