PSG: Mbappé, a real problem for Luis Enrique?

Daniel Riolo does not understand Kylian Mbappé’s desire to become a creator in the game of Paris Saint-Germain.

It is with little confidence that Kylian Mbappé joined theFrench team in Clairefontaine this Monday. The 2018 world champion has not scored or provided an assist for four matches in all competitions despite a desire to bring offensive support and make his teammates shine. But for Daniel Riolo, the 24-year-old is not yet 100% and Luis Enrique should not make him play 90 minutes in every match.

Mbappé lacking efficiency

“This whimsical side of saying that Mbappé is 100% when that is not true. What’s the point of lying, we’re not blind. He (Luis Enrique) does not have to lie, he can say that Mbappé did not put any pressure, that he is not in good shape. He leaves him on the pitch for 90 minutes but we can clearly see that there is a problem with the kidney kick”he declared the editorialist RMC Sport.

Which then focused on the change in the game of the native of Bondy, who tends to desert his left side to try to make the play in the axis. A trend that is currently unsuccessful and does not correspond to Mbappé’s qualities, according to Riolo. “There is a kind of mutation. So, it’s very good, he made some very good passes. There is a kind of desire in Mbappé to become a passer. That you add that to your range, I’m willing, but that you replace it with what was your strength, namely acceleration, elimination, beautiful strikes, there, I admit that I have a problem, I don’t understand “he continued.

He then expressed his desire to see the Parisian number 7 continue to play with the qualities that have made him strong in recent years. “I want him to go to his side, accelerate, break down defenses and not let go and give a good ball. I’m not even sure he’s capable of it (being a leader). He doesn’t have a technique that allows him to do that. He doesn’t have Benzema’s technique, that’s not his strength.”
