Kylian Mbappé has been caught in yet another controversy. This time, the fault lies in his comments about the criticism of the French team’s play during the last Euro. Criticism that the world champion doesn’t care about. “I am at a stage in my life and career where I no longer see,
he said on the eve of the clash against Italy. I come, I play, I try to do my best, to help the team. What people think is the least of my worries.”
The way in which the former Monaco player wanted to brush aside these comments on the Blues’ game has indeed provoked strong reactions. And unsurprisingly, Daniel Riolo was not the least acerbic. “If you have unanimity around these remarks, it means something, you cannot interpret them differently. You are clearly facing someone who has a deplorable attitude,” he thus blew on the airwaves of RMC.
“Either he’s lying or he’s stupid”
“Either he’s lying or he’s stupid, he added. He can’t say he doesn’t care what people think since he’s a player who benefits from the services of the most cutting-edge communication agencies in Paris. If you have people who manage everything around your life, it means that you pay attention to your image and what you give. You can’t say that ‘people’s opinions are the least of your worries’ or else it means that you haven’t understood what’s going on around you, which I don’t think so.
And the RMC polemicist continued by castigating the arrogance and pretension of the Madrilenian. “You can’t have the attitude, in France, of a jaded, contemptuous man, while in a completely different communications company, when you’re facing the Spanish media, it’s all smiles, bootlicking, a little wink,” he regretted. “Here, you’re making fun of the world and the worst thing is that you think people won’t realize it despite your arrogance and your pretension.”
