PSG striker Kylian Mbappé did not hold it against his coach for the criticism he expressed towards him after the match in Reims.
Did Luis Enrique commit a crime of lese Majesty by publicly criticizing Kylian Mbappé after the match against Reims? While the Parisian striker had just scored his team’s three goals, the Spanish coach dared to say that his performance was unsuccessful.
Mbappé “accepted” the criticism
While observers debate the goal sought by Luis Enrique through this media outing, it seems that within the Ile-de-France club everything is already back to normal. The coach and his star would have interacted between four walls and there is no discomfort between them.
If we trust what Le Parisien reports in its Monday edition, Mbappé is not at all angry with Luis Enrique. Quite the contrary. He considered the criticisms against him to be entirely constructive and he accepted them perfectly. The Bondynois would even appreciate it if his trainer told him things as he felt them. The objective is to be able to progress collectively.

Everything is back to normal between Luis Enrique and Mbappé
Following this private discussion, Mbappé also perfectly understood what he is accused of. His coach wants him to be “more involved in terms of defensive involvement”. On the other hand, he does not really blame him for his waste in the development phases of the game. The former La Roja coach fully agrees that in the offensive phases his star may not do everything well. That’s the risk with a player of this quality, who constantly takes initiatives. A player, too, capable of changing encounters at any time. Now that the abscess is burst, the duo is inclined to move forward together.
