Returning to Paris to recharge his batteries at home during this international break, Kylian Mbappé found some friends from Paris Saint-Germain like the faithful Achraf Hakimi or the Spanish goalkeeper Arnau Tenas. Deprived of the French team by Didier Deschamps, the captain of the Blues undoubtedly hopes to take advantage of this break to rebuild (a little) his cherry. Embroiled in a media tornado for several months, the Real Madrid player seems to have an immense need to cut off, to disconnect from football as he appears lost on the pitch.
Marked by his difficult divorce with PSG, affected by his extra-sporting affair in Sweden, Mbappé must now manage criticism coming from the French and Spanish press. The flaws seen at PSG and the Blues are also visible at Real Madrid, and the Madrid media don’t like that. Faced with all this, Kylian Mbappé struggles to raise his head. And this morning, several voices close to the former Monegasque finally speak in the columns of The Team to explain the difficult situation in which the man who was called, not so long ago, the genius of French football is stuck.
“Kylian has a mental problem”
“Call it what you want, but Kylian has had a mental problem for several months. It cannot be resolved like that, it takes time and work that is carried out with specialists.», Confided to the daily a person who meets the captain of the Blues every day. A mental problem which reinforces for many the idea that Mbappé needs to cut to regenerate. Others, however, believe that the player must face another difficulty: changes within those around him. “From the moment there were too many people around him, that was the start of problems. When his parents took care of him almost alone, it was total», assures another contact, a fine connoisseur of the Real Madrid star and his entourage.
Caught in a negative spiral, will Mbappé be able to bounce back by the end of the year? Nobody knows. The only thing that is certain is that he will undoubtedly manage to make people talk about him during this international break to which he was not invited by his coach. “I had several exchanges with him. I thought about it and made this decision at this gathering. Because I think it’s better that way. I’m not going to argue. What I can tell you is that Kylian Mbappé wanted to come», declared DD, suggesting that it was a sanction. A version that doesn’t really please Mbappé’s close circle. “This is an erroneous or incomplete version of the truth. It’s much more complex than that. To believe that it is a decision of the coach is false. But the most important thing is that Kylian can rediscover the joy of playing football. The rest will come later“. That’s all the bad we can wish him.
