It is obvious, Kylian Mbappé has not been in his best form for weeks. To the point that some wonder if he is not suffering the side effects of the coronavirus.
Kylian Mbappé had many difficulties during the match between AS Saint-Etienne and PSG, the world champion failing to make the difference with the defense of the Greens. It was enough to look at the gestures of the French star to understand that things were not going in the right direction. E if Mauricio Pochettino was understanding with Kylian Mbappé after the meeting, it is obvious that the Argentinian coach of Paris Saint-Germain expects more from his player. The fact remains that the former Monegasque cannot have lost all his talent in the space of a few months, all the more so as physically Mbappé is obviously still so sharp. So, when explaining this big slump, several hypotheses arise and they range from a mental problem related to his future at PSG or elsewhere, to a real big fatigue, but also begins to circulate the possibility that the attacker Parisian is a victim of the side effects of the covid, which Kylian Mbappé had last September.
Mbappé had the covid in September
In The Parisian, Mickaël Madar admits that he is thinking about this concerning Mbappé’s slack. ” Physically, he is in the rough. But isn’t this a consequence of the coronavirus which sometimes leads to extreme fatigue and a lack of energy? Wednesday, I felt him harmless, almost amorphous. My first thought was to tell myself it was done. But there may be something else, because his attitude appealed to me “, Explains, in Le Parisien, the former player and consultant of Canal +. For his part, Dr. Jean-Bernard Fabre is also wondering about this same subject. ” There’s something to think about: he had the Covid. However, in our research, we wondered if an underlying fatigue could not set in, even for young people who have not had symptoms, and disrupt the nervous system at a high level of effort. Many players who have had the Covid are a shadow of themselves. To come up with an effective strategy and allow it to regain its energy, you have to understand where the problem comes from. Is it overtraining, which is called athlete burnout? Is it linked to Covid? Both ? If we go to the pifometer, it will absolutely not be effective », Warns this doctor in physiology.
