The lack of elegance of the Parisians, and of Kylian Mbappé in particular, is underlined the day after the C1 match between PSG and Newcastle.
Miraculous and nevertheless frustrated, PSG was obviously not satisfied with its share of points with Newcastle, Tuesday evening, in a crucial group match for the round of 16 of C1. At the end of the meeting, Kylian Mbappé himself did not hide his annoyance. “ It’s frustrating because we dominate this team from start to finish. They have nothing, we knew it was their game to have nothing… » Words that did not go unnoticed.
This Wednesday evening on the airwaves of RMC, Christophe Dugarry, without wanting to overwhelm the captain of the Blues by his own admission, however underlines the lack of fair play of the Parisian scorer. “ I don’t want to fall on him because I understand the frustration of a post-match. Afterwards, these are little sentences which, in my opinion, have no place. When you concede five goals in two matches against a modest Newcastle team and you save the draw with a penalty generously awarded by the referee, a bit of elegance! »
“That’s beside the point”
Overall, the former striker believes that humility is often lacking among PSG players. “ There is something I don’t like at PSG and it’s something quite recurrent since the arrival of QSI: every time things haven’t gone well, I’ve seen attitudes from players which bothered me. I’m not talking about Kylian Mbappé, I’m talking about Kimpembe, Marquinhos, Neymar… Every time things didn’t go well, the PSG players ruined the match through attitudes or declarations. »
And to return to the Mbappé case. “ I find that Mbappé, as a leader, must be above that. Talking about Newcastle in those terms when you failed to win in two matches against them… (…) When you want to be a future Ballon d’Or, attitude counts. A boy like Messi or the greatest rarely make this kind of statement. It lacks a bit of humility, it misses the point. It also corresponds to his irritation on the ground. I find that he raises his arms very often and that affects his performance. Even if he sometimes manages to save his matches with goals, I find that he misses too many things for a player of his talent. »
