Kylian Mbappé made an impression on Saturday, during the quarter -final of the Club World Cup against Borussia Dortmund. Entering the 67e Minute, the Bondynois has indeed unlocked its counter thanks to a magnificent acrobatic chisel in additional time and paid a moving tribute to Diogo Jota at the time of its celebration.
The tricolor world champion can therefore tackle his big reunion with PSG on Wednesday in the semi-finals with confidence. Nevertheless, the former Parisian had to compose with the admonitions of Xabi Alonso in front of Dortmund. According to Marca, the Spanish coach did not hesitate to remind him of order several times during the meeting, in particular to replace him.
Despite his status, the former midfielder will not make him any right-handed and many voices are heard in Spain to affirm that the tricolor striker risks, once again, to start the meeting on the bench. Kylian Mbappé seems to be completely recovered from his severe gastroenteritis which struck him upon arrival in the United States.
But in his absence, the young Gonzalo Garcia turned out to be in the face of the world and gives complete satisfaction to his trainer. Author of four goals and a decisive pass in five games, the scorer also shines with his defensive investment. “Today, Gonzalo brings more things to the team than Mbappé, he understood the concepts better. It gives more in sacrifice and pressing ”said journalist Jesus Gallego for this purpose on the Cadena Ser.
And since Arda Güller also shines in a more advanced position than under Carlo Ancelotti, Xabi Alonso is facing a dilemma and would therefore be ready to use Kylian Mbappé as a simple joker against PSG.
