Former PSG goalkeeper Jérôme Alonzo gave his opinion on the standoff between Luis Enrique and Kylian Mbappé.
In Paris, we have a knack for creating problems even when everything seems to be going well. This is what happened last week with the dispute that arose between coach Luis Enrique and Kylian Mbappé due to the latter’s position on the pitch.
“Mbappé should listen to Luis Enrique”
The Spanish coach may assert to anyone who will listen that there is no problem between him and his star, it seems obvious that there is unease. Through his sulks, the crack Bondynois shows that he is not at all happy with his current situation.
Is Mbappé right to display his disagreement in this way? For Jérôme Alonzo, a veteran of the Parisian house, the answer is no. He judges that the international striker should instead listen to and respect his coach. “Luis Enrique, it breathes something, he began by confiding on the channel L’Equipe. We always thought that for this PSG to progress then it needed a figure of authority and reference. Admiration, the word would be a bit big. And Luis Enrique is a referenced player and a referenced coach. When he stands in front of you and tells you that you have to do more… We are all aware, and Mbappé first of all, that to reach the standards of the European top 4, he is lacking a little.
Alonzo also spoke about the time Luis Enrique criticized Mbappé in public by ordering him to do more on the pitch. “The little dig after Reims meant ‘What you do offensively, I knew you knew how to do it, but when we get smashed, you have to be there because you’re the boss'”, he said. He underlines.
