Mauricio Pochettino reacts to whistles against Kylian Mbappé

532 days later, the Parisian public returned to the Parc des Princes. A great sun at the end of the afternoon, a summer temperature, there was everything to welcome the 5 new recruits. This was the case, moreover, but the supporters also distinguished themselves by whistling copiously two players from their team when the composition was announced: Thilo Kehrer and above all, Kylian Mbappé.

We can imagine that the fans are unhappy with the decision of the world champion not to extend a current contract until 2022. After the pressure from Nasser Al-Khelaïfi last Wednesday, it is now the turn of the public to Send a message. Mauricio Pochettino had preferred to kick in touch at a press conference and we feel that the subject is delicate at PSG.

Pochettino did not hear the whistles

The Argentine coach this time wanted to avoid answering too many questions about the state of mind of the striker, author of an excellent match otherwise, and who was applauded throughout the meeting. “He’s focused on what he has to do. Today he played a very good game and I’m happy. He must continue in this pattern ”, he approves.

During a revival on the whistles of which Mbappé was the object during the presentation of the players, Pochettino this time decided. “I did not hear a whistle”, he explains after this second question on the subject, as if to better move on. Now, faced with the delicate future of the player, in Paris, we prefer to comment on something else.
