Kylian Mbappé was once again unrecognizable on Wednesday on the San Mames pitch. As against Liverpool the previous week, the French world champion delivered a non-match at San Mames, multiplying technical approximations as well as bad choices. A disastrous performance capped off by a missed penalty when he had the opportunity to equalize and which obviously weighed in the defeat of the Merengue (2-1).
Kylian Mbappé also pleaded guilty after the meeting. “Bad result. A big mistake in a match where every detail counts. I take full responsibility for it. It’s a difficult moment, but it’s the best time to change this situation and show who I am,” he wrote on Instagram. Strong words repeated in the privacy of the locker room.
Kylian Mbappé scored points
According to AS, the Bondynois wanted to speak after the match and did not hesitate to discuss individually with certain executives of the Merengue squad in order to assure them of
“his determined desire to react and become the true leader of this new project”. And Kylian Mbappé’s words would have carried. According to the Madrid daily, “Mbappé’s decisive and sudden change of attitude was very well received in the upper echelons of the entity, but especially in the locker room. »
“Mbappé opened the door that many of his teammates were eager to enter”confided a member of the club. This is the Mbappé we all had in our heads! »
All that remains now is to put words into action. Whether against Girona this weekend in La Liga and especially against Atalanta Bergamo in the Champions League on Tuesday.
