He wasn’t going to call a press conference. Kylian Mbappé used social networks, a communication tool now firmly anchored in society, to respond to the controversy. At least we can interpret it like that. Saturday morning, via Instagram, the Real Madrid striker appeared in a gym, a much less festive context than that of his
Swedish getaway in the company of Nordi Mukiele, former PSG defender currently at Bayer Leverkusen, German champion.
Emoji with a military salute, biceps in full effort and a white heart (a reference to the colors of his club?), the symbols of this post seem to represent a return of the French footballer to work after a few days of relaxation in Stockholm. The presence of Kylian Mbappé in a nightclub in the Swedish capital on Thursday evening
triggered some reactions while that evening the French team, of which he is captain, won in Budapest against Israel (1-4).
A strange decision
If Didier Deschamps, the coach of the Blues, did not retain Mbappé for the 5th and 6th days of the League of Nations, it is because the Real Madrid striker needed time to finish treating an injury to a thigh. Seeing the former PSG player play more than thirty minutes against Lille in the Champions League (1-0) then start against Villarreal in the Spanish Championship (2-0), obviously aroused incomprehension.
“I think it would have been important for him to be present during these matches, even if he knew he was tired, He could have been there for the group, that’s also the captain, judged former French international Mathieu Valbuena on RMC. He is also part of the France team, he could have been there and his decision is quite strange. »
