Luis Enrique’s criticism of Kylian Mbappé on Saturday, after PSG’s victory in Reims (3-0), did not go unnoticed.
Luis Enrique definitely handles the art of the counterbalance well. After having always defended Kylian Mbappé since the start of the season, including after certain lackluster performances from the Bondy prodigy, the PSG coach stole his top scorer after a match where the latter distinguished himself with a hat-trick, in Reims (3-0).
“I’m not really happy with him today. On the goals, I have nothing to say but he can be better in a different way. I’ll talk to him about it, I won’t tell you what it is because it’s private. I think Kylian is one of the best players in the world, but we need more. We want him to do more things”launched the Spaniard, before repeating this speech several times.
“Luis Enrique has a spirit of contradiction”
A clear message, and a method of communication that appeals. Bixente Lizarazu does not necessarily endorse this method. The 1998 world champion did not hesitate to criticize Luis Enrique. “He has a weird way of complimenting. Without this hat-trick and a very good Donnarumma, his team could have been in difficulty. He could have had this criticism after the Milan match (1-2 defeat) but not after the one against Reims. Afterwards, Luis Enrique has a spirit of contradiction all the time. If you tell him that Mbappé was very good, he will say: ‘no’. If you tell him that Mbappé was bad, he will say: ‘yes, yes I found him very good’. This creates a little tension all the time… As long as the results are good, it’s okay. But when the results are not good, it can be a problem. It’s surprising not to give credit to one of your attackers when he scored a hat-trick.”. It is said.
