While Luis Enrique took the liberty of criticizing Kylian Mbappé after his hat-trick, Bixente Lizarazu was very surprised by the Parisian coach’s communication.
Paris Saint-Germain won 3-0 in Reims on Saturday, with a hat-trick from Kylian Mbappé, and took the lead in Ligue 1 for the first time. There would be reason to be satisfied with that, and calmly approach the international break. But that’s not Luis Enrique’s type. After this victory, the Parisian coach confided that he expected a lot more in his attacker’s game, which is confusing.
“Luis Enrique has a rather bizarre way of complimenting, quipped Bixente Lizarazu this Sunday in Téléfoot. Without this hat-trick, and without a very good Donnarumma, his team could have been in difficulty. He could have had this criticism after the Milan match, but not after the one against Reims. »
Generally speaking, the former Spain coach tends to surprise with his way of communicating, which involves a certain amount of risk. “Luis Enrique has a spirit of contradictionobserves Lizarazu. If you tell him that Mbappé was very good, he will tell you no. If you tell him that Mbappé was bad, he will tell you that, yes, yes, he found him very good. It always creates a little tension. As long as the results are there, it’s okay, but when the results are not good it can be a problem. It’s surprising not to praise a striker when he has just scored a hat-trick. » It’s a way to be demanding, but it could be a dangerous game.
