The set of La Tribune returned to this comical situation. First on the merits of the question with in particular the opinion of Marc Wilmots. “I understand Mbappé 200% (on the fact that he does not like to play pivot). He likes his left side where he picks up speed. When you play pivot, you have your back to the goal most of the time. You play once morest closed defenses. He is stronger in another position and there he does the work for the others. It is rather he who serves as support for Neymar and Messi and that frustrates him […] In the France team, he can use the work of Giroud. He has more fun in the France team. In Paris, he is not having fun. He doesn’t find his pleasure in it“, estimates the former international of the Red Devils.
Phillip Albert is indignant regarding the way the PSG star communicates. “When you give a player so much power, it should come as no surprise that you have so many problems. I find it abnormal that a player has so much power in a club. This is the worst thing for the whole kernel. What message are we sending?“, asks our consultant.
“Kylian Mbappé is the boss of PSG. He is the player who has the most influence on a team“, notes Marc Delire. “He doesn’t necessarily have the right to do what he wants but he takes it. What do you want to tell him? He’s the best player in the world and he’s the one who decides. “
Mbappé’s attitude has in any case annoyed Cécile De Gernier. “It makes him fundamentally selfish in his communication. Football remains a collective sport. When you have Neymar and Messi next to you, when you make assists and score goals, you can’t really complain. You have to be at the service of the team and the goal is to win matches. It’s really annoying.”
And Marc Wilmots punctuates the debate by recalling the fundamentals of communication in the world of football. “This kind of thing is settled in a locker room.”
