Before moving onto the pitch at RC Lens, this Sunday evening (8:45 p.m.), Kylian Mbappé spoke on the microphone of Prime Video and was invited to comment on the most notable goals he scored in the French Championship. Among them, the Paris Saint-Germain scorer notably returned to what he calls his “special”. A feint that the international executes by closing his right foot at the very last moment, to place the ball near the near post.
“I did not develop it in 2018, I developed it especially with Pochettino, at the start of 2021. We analyzed the fact that I put a lot of curls at the far post and that the goalkeeper then always left before my shot. We then worked to counter that and we started to work (this feint). We worked on this with mannequins, plots, without a guard. Afterwards, I did it in training, then in matches. Instinct comes with work and that’s what it takes to score lots of goals in a season, like I do. You have to have several strings to your bow, it’s essential, sometimes you can’t think”explained Kylian Mbappé.
