And for this he alluded to a certain Zinedine Zidane.

On the waves of RMC, the former footballer was not kind to Kylian Mbappé, whom he accused of being an individualist. “ I blame him for his attitude. I understand that statistics are important to him. He knew it was a match where he was expected. He had to be the leader of this PSG team and when I hear ‘leader’, I hear ‘exemplary’. His qualities are not called into question, but the example has not been shown (…). He is a boy who is not concerned with any defensive task. He makes no effort when a defender passes three, four, five meters from him.

“Zizou was a collective, he is an individualist”

For Christophe Dugarry, Kylian Mbappé’s performance was not up to standard and the disappointment was immense. And the former OM player calls on his own memories. “ I have a memory with Zizou, I had the chance to play with this great player and when you saw him on the field you might as well run and make so much effort for the others, when you were next to him, you were obliged to move your behind. When you see your best player who chooses his shots, who pretends to play on some, who pretends to defend on others, I think that’s not a good sign for his partners and it’s a shame . (…) Zizou was a collective, he is an individualist.
