Struggling this fall, Kylian Mbappé can fear the worst in the coming weeks, according to Daniel Riolo.
Top scorer in Ligue 1 with already no less than 16 goals in 15 matches and among the most prolific scorers in the world in 2023, neck and neck with Harry Kane, Erling Haaland and Cristiano Ronaldo, Kylian Mbappé nonetheless appears in the hard one for several weeks. Less incisive in front of goal, less devastating in his accelerations, the French world champion also multiplies the signs of annoyance, attracting numerous criticisms.
The situation is becoming worrying for Daniel Riolo, who had already been very critical on Sunday, after the draw conceded by PSG in Lille at the end of the 16e day of Ligue 1. “ He’s still a professional player and his attitude is deplorable. His attitude is absolutely deplorable tonight. Zero withdrawal, there is nothing, he is pretending. And what’s more, when he goes to defend against a guy, he goes so badly… He makes mistakes every time, he hits, he has a bad mind.” he said at the microphone of RMC.
The polemicist did it again on Tuesday evening. “Almost a year ago to the day, he played in the World Cup final and was extraordinary. At this moment, he is perhaps the French’s favorite sportsman. Everyone saw that the Ballon d’Or was decided by a penalty. He was on top of the world next to Messi. Since then, in my eyes it has been a decline. But not just a footballing decline, because he continued to score goals. But there was a second part of the season with PSG, a summer that was managed with difficulty… However, he never spoke. He hasn’t spoken for a year.” he confided to begin with.
And Daniel Riolo expects the worst for the Parisian striker, who recently lost his status as the French’s favorite sportsman and is on the verge of alienating Parisian supporters. “If he continues like this, I’ll give him a month before he gets whistled at the Parc des Princes, he added. Never speaking, never saying anything, cutting himself off from the world, having a deplorable attitude like in the last two matches… I have never seen an athlete with so much ability be so unloved. I don’t understand it. But I think it’s not for nothing. »
