“If I bound my future to the Champions League, and I do not lack respect for the club, I will be left very far!” »» Thus was expressed Kylian Mbappé one evening in March 2023 after yet another trip from his PSG in the Champions League. Two years later and less than a year after the Bondynois left for Real Madrid, Paris won the first C1 in its history. The name of the attacker has necessarily returned a lot since Saturday evening. Johan Micoud also talked about it.
The former tricolor international who has become a consultant for the channel the team has targeted the 2018 world champion. “We must talk about the fact that this team plays together and at the same time it leaves for Real Madrid in a team which was rather collectively well oiled and which is no longer found. »»
Forgetting to specify that Kylian Mbappé had nothing to do with the non-replacement of Toni Kroos and on the number of incalculable injuries of major defensive players, Johan Micoud continued.
“Yes, he will always release his well, he will always put his forty goals in the season, but at what price?” Do we prefer to have a player who will put you goals but who unbalances an entire team? »» And to insist: “I find that he is a player who will always come out of the game but who can smash a team. »»
A scathing but not new observation in the mouth of the former Werder Bremen who has reproached for years the individualist side that he sees too significant in Kylian Mbappé.
Johan Micoud is waiting for a change at Kylian Mbappé
Johan Micoud has also taken up on the subject : “Luis Enrique took him between four eyes last year and he said: 'You have to defend'. I no longer know if he talks about Michael Jordan (…). So if he doesn't get it into his head, he will score forty goals, we'll talk about him at the Ballon d'Or every year … But as long as you don't understand that you don't play tennis, golf or ping pong, we will always have these debates. And if that does not want to integrate it into his game, I think he will not be able to be the player he could be. »»
Obviously aware of the talent of Kylian Mbappé, Johan Micoud does not despair of one day seeing the evolution he expects in the Bondynois game.
