Wilfrid Mbappé put on the crampons and was hard on humans. Father of the striker and captain of the French team Kylian Mbappé, the latter spoke during a long interview for The team. The opportunity to come back to the relationship he has with his son, the latter's journey and the questions around the player and the man Kylian Mbappé. While the latter had an interesting first season with the Merengues with 43 goals and 5 assists in 56 matches, the criticisms did not fail to touch him. Its low defensive contribution and the pressing has notably returned, causing an imbalance within Real Madrid. A situation already experienced in the past at Paris Saint-Germain.
But for Wilfrid Mbappé, this is not really a problem. The father of Kylian Mbappé believes that if the defensive efforts are important, that is not to say that it must take precedence in the judgment that we have about a player: “Is the side is an attacker or a defender? What do we ask him? I am not saying that Kylian should not defend, but what do we judge a player? A side, I don't care that it centers well. At each position its specificity. We criticize a guy who still puts 60 goals per season. What I blame him, however, is that if there is a fight not far from you, come and help.»»
Wilfrid Mbappé Tack Khvicha Kvaratskhelia
To support his words, he took the example of the one who replaced him digitally in Paris Saint-Germain. Arrived from Napoli this winter, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia did not have the statistical impact of Kylian Mbappé, but the Georgian won the Champions League with the Ile -de -France club unlike the 2018 world champion. But for Wilfried Mbappé, the important game without ball of the former Rubin Kazan is not something that interests him: “I can shock by saying that, but the race made by PSG winger KHVICHA KVAratskhelia in the Champions League final (on Denzel Dumfries Editor's note) in the 90th minute, I don't care. Kylian is not his game.»»
“”He does things that others are unable to do. It does not mean that we will say “Kvara does not put 60 goals per season”. So everyone positions himself as they want, but I am one of those who will never say that to the attackers. And not because it is my son. I am not saying that we should not defend, but if it should only make defensive folds, we are not in the same room“He said. A strong position of the father of Kylian Mbappé who does not want to see a coach distorting his son's game by imposing too much defensive work. Didier Deschamps and Xabi Alonso are warned.
