Author of the equalizing goal for Losc against PSG, his training club, before the international window, under the eyes of his father Wilfrid and his big brother Kylian, Ethan Mbappé this time did not have to play the hero for the Mastiffs. Bruno Genesio's team dominated FC Nantes (0-2), Sunday evening at La Beaujoire, thanks to goals from Hakon Haraldsson (on a serve from Olivier Giroud, 8th) and Hamza Igamane at the end of the match (89th).
Mathias Fernandez-Pardo and Felix Correia played on the wings of the northern attack before the entry into play of Osame Sahraoui 10 minutes from the end then that of Ethan Mbappé in added time (91st).
Ethan Mbappé, left-handed midfielder, continues his post-training at Lille, the club he joined last year. Despite a first season spoiled by several injuries, the native of Montreuil was often praised by his coach for his determination when he came into play. Genesio also installed him as the understudy in the right attacking midfielder position of his team.
Ethan Mbappé jostled
His time at the PSG training center was sometimes eventful, as recounted by his former U17 coach, Stéphane Moreau, interviewed in
The Team. “You can’t imagine what he was going through. When we got vaccinated for Covid, the whole team was waiting in line and people were filming him, following him everywhere. I told him: 'Ethan, how do you manage all this?'He was 16 years old, a career to build in a world tinged with jealousy and, sometimes, hatred'says the coach.
The immense popularity of “Kyks”, the young prodigy of the 2018 world champions, has put Ethan Mbappé in difficulty. “In U17, it was complete rubbish! He was being set on fire, we even had to have an escort… But he never changed. With parents like this, attentive, super close and healthy. And, I tell you honestly, he is an exceptional kid that every educator dreams of in training”thus launches Stéphane Moreau to
The Team. The Losc player will perhaps take advantage of this mental strength to win in Ligue 1.
