This is called a smashing return. Severely affected by the hamstrings on April 27 and operated in the process, Ethan Mbappé returned to the competition on Sunday, during the LOSC victory against Toulouse (2-1), on behalf of the 4the Ligue 1 day.
Replacing kick -off, the 18 -year -old midfielder came into play in the 82e Minute, while the Dogues were led 0-1. After the equalization on penalty of Nabil Bentaleb (90e), the little brother of the “Kyk's” offered victory to his family, at the end of additional time (90e+8), with a sublime stolen from the left foot in full skylight.
It didn't take time to see the comparisons with his illustrious big brother flowering. What is inevitable, according to Frédéric Verdier. “” We will compare him to his brother, it is inevitable, Leaded the journalist on the L'Equipe channel.
He will have comparison permanently. The Kluivert brothers are compared to their father and compare each other even if they do not have the same position. Jordi Cruyff was international and compared to Johann, never in his favor. It's inevitable, Ethan knows it very well and this is not what will prevent him from having a good career. »»
If he was called Ethan Cuc, we would not have talked as much about this goal ”
Besides, Frédéric Verdier believes that if Ethan Mbappé was not Kylian's brother, we would not speak as much about his superb goal against the violets. “” If it is stupid (the game of comparisons, note)? Obviously ! If it was due to me … if he was called Ethan Cuc, we wouldn't have talked about this goal as much
“, He said.
Happy and proud to have found the way to the net after several difficult months spent away from the field, the former Parisian celebrated in the manner of his big brother, who did not fail to congratulate him. “” He already sent me a message. He must be happy, entrusted Ethan Mbappé after the meeting. Besides, I wink at him by making his celebration. He scored yesterday (Saturday), I score today (Sunday). I also think of my parents. »»
