Kylian Mbappé delivered a very dull performance on Tuesday against Milan. A poor performance which could be linked to its positioning.
PSG suffered on Tuesday on the San Siro pitch. Lacking imagination and overwhelmed in commitment, the capital club logically lost 2-1 against Milan. The Parisians certainly once again had control of the ball and even hit the uprights twice. However, Luis Enrique’s men were not sharp enough and Kylian Mbappé was undoubtedly the best symbol of this.
If he started the match well, showing himself to be very available, his two wasted opportunities against Mike Maignan extinguished him, the French world champion therefore striving to favor the individual solution. Often quick to defend him, Daniel Riolo did not spare him this time. “This evening, I will not only come across Milan Skriniar, who was eaten by Olivier Giroud on goal, and the defenders. Because ahead, we will have to talk about Mbappé. Like Newcastle, I don’t like it at all. He has two big chances, you score one of them and you leave Milan with a draw. Mbappé, are we talking about international class or not? On both occasions, I want at least one in there”he thundered at the RMC microphone.
Vikash Dhorasso wants to be more measured. Because for the former PSG player, this failed performance is mainly due to his positioning. “I wonder about its use. He will end up getting bored on his left side, being caught by two or three opponents each time, he confided in the columns of The Team. I have the feeling that before he had more freedom and that he was better helped, whereas now he has to manage. I don’t know the departure instructions, but he stayed to the side, I have the impression that he is being made to accept that. He does not benefit from this positioning.
