Kylian Mbappé’s entourage reacted to the controversial replacement of the PSG striker last Friday, against Monaco (0-0, 24th day of Ligue 1).
The opposition between AS Monaco and Paris Saint-Germain is available in the same place at the Louis II stadium, which remains in the memories. The decision was made by Luis Enrique to wear Kylian Mbappé and his clothes after the break. A choice which was made in a similar way to the replacement before the Bondynois faced Rennes last season (1-1). The PSG instructor explains that his decision is pure in the sporting order, the observers have doubts. The game’s surroundings are also alive.
In proposals reported after the match by CMRthe Mbappé clan stated the following: “ We respect the coach’s choices and Kylian is fully focused on the trip to Real Sociedad. There is no controversy over the fact that he is in the stands. It’s a shower and he’s in city clothes and shoes. It is a club manager who spontaneously leads the official PSG delegation. »
Starting Tuesday?
Those close to the 2018 world champion therefore chose to calm things down as much as possible, but the external signals sent by Kylian Mbappé in front of the cameras on the lookout for the world gesture, showed that he was perhaps not Not so calm about the coach’s decision. The way he jumped a barrier at the end of the match to greet the supporters, for example, was a way for him to show that his replacement had nothing to do with an injury and that he could have stayed on the pitch. .
At the press conference, Luis Enrique also presented the theme of a major reversal, without the insistence of journalists. It remains to be seen whether Kylian Mbappé will be lined up starting Tuesday evening in the Champions League. If they lead 2-0 after their victory in the first leg, the Parisians will really need their offensive star to ensure a passage to the quarter-finals.
