Former French international, Christophe Dugarry, expressed his immense disappointment with what Kylian Mbappé is showing at the moment.
Clearly, Kylian Mbappé currently has a lot of detractors. The French international may have been PSG’s number one asset for several seasons, but he is not spared from criticism. Even when his team achieves its objective. Thursday, a certain Christophe Dugarry made him a suit.
“Mbappé is an individualist”
Speaking in “Rothen s’igne” on RMC, Dugarry mainly pointed the finger at the “attitude” of the Bondynois. “He knew he was expected, he had to be the leader of this team, he continued, referring to the C1 match against Dortmund. His qualities cannot be called into question, but he did not set an example in pressing or counter-pressing. He is not concerned with any defensive task. He makes no effort when a defender passes three or four meters from him. When you want to be the leader of PSG, you must not think that you always shine by being decisive.”
Mbappé stood out by sulking at the end of the game because his team chose to preserve the result. A behavior that “Duga” did not like. For the latter, the ex-Monegasque is not in the best position to give lessons in terms of the investment that must be made on the ground. “Exemplarity is essential in this type of match. I saw a passive Mbappé. He only harangued his teammates at the end. He should have done it before. I didn’t see him press Sule and Hummels. I was very, very disappointed in his behavior. I even thought he was going to overplay. But no, he suffered the whole match.”
Finally, the 98 world champion drew a parallel between Mbappé and his former teammate, the illustrious Zinédine Zidane. “I remember Zizou. When you saw him trying so hard, you had to move. Zizou was a collective, he is an individualist,” he concluded.
