Once again disappointing on the pitch, Sunday against OM (0-2), Kylian Mbappé drew the wrath of observers by publishing an enigmatic photo on Instragram after the Classic. An attitude which does not correspond to the image of a club and selection captain, said Florent Gautreau in the After.
Since PSG’s victory on the Marseille pitch (0-2) last weekend, the behavior of Kylian Mbappé has been a matter of concern. Indeed, after a more than mixed performance, the captain of the Parisian club gave way to Gonçalo Ramos a few minutes after the hour mark (64th).
A new choice from Luis Enrique which did not please Kylian Mbappé. The French star then published an Instagram photo suggesting his disappointment at leaving the field at this moment of the meeting.
“It doesn’t work, he’s not a captain”
In After Foot this Monday, Florent Gautreau expressed his disappointment with Kylian Mbappé’s captaincy at PSG and the French team: “I’m a little disappointed because I like him a lot. I campaigned for that he was captain of Paris Saint-Germain and the French team. The only fault he had at the start was this individualism and his individual objectives linked to the Ballon d’Or. I thought, given that he was captain, that he would open up with time, age and responsibilities. With this status, you are obliged to think of others and work for them. You are the relay of the club. I thought that “He was going to evolve, grow and be more collective. In the end, it doesn’t work and he’s not a captain. Maybe he will be later.”
also captain of the French team, Kylian Mbappé has obviously not reached the dimension that former legends of the selection could have had with the armband, according to Florent Gautreau, who regrets that this role was not given to Antoine Griezmann: “On a collective level, Michel Platini and Zinédine Zidane were examples of collective spirit. They were respected by their partners. I hoped that for Mbappé. In the French team, Griezmann would have been a better choice because it is a player who thinks more of others than Mbappé. Maybe Kylian will evolve.”
Less efficient since the last gathering of the French team, Kylian Mbappé will very quickly have the opportunity to reverse the trend in the semi-final of the Coupe de France against Rennes, before the reception of Clermont (this Saturday at 9 p.m.) and especially the first leg against FC Barcelona in the Champions League, on April 10.
