The PSG coach’s exit regarding Kylian Mbappé is surprising. Several reasons can explain such criticism for someone who scored a hat-trick in Reims.
Thanks to the immense parades of Gianluigi Donnarumma, PSG did not sink in Reims, Saturday evening during the 12th day of Ligue 1. And with an inspired Kylian Mbappé, the Parisian team even won 3-0 in Champagne .
The performance of the captain of the Blues was not, however, completely praised by his coach. Luis Enrique told the cameras of Prime Video that he asked more from the best player on his team. Yes but what ?
Luis Enrique would perhaps like to see a more altruistic Kylian Mbappé or one more respectful of instructions? The Spaniard remained secret: “ JHe thinks he can help the team in a different wayhe said on Prime Video. I’m going to watch the match and I’ll talk to him about it first, not to you, because it’s not public. »
The Team, among other things, revealed a trend in the PSG locker room. After the setback conceded Tuesday to Milan in the Champions League (2-1), players would have criticized the club’s top scorer for play it a little too much solo.
“I ask him not to rest on his laurels”
In a post-match press conference in Reims, Luis Enrique said a little more about what he expects from Kylian Mbappé, quoted by RMC Sport : “ He is a top player in the world but he still has room for improvement, I ask him not to rest on his laurels. He can still progress. »
Another explanation cannot be excluded. Luis Enrique wants to exist in the media and show who is the boss of the locker room. Why would players get all the attention in the spotlight? José Mourinho was strong enough to relegate his team to second place.
