The rapid return of Kylian Mbappé to PSG training, just three days after the French team’s defeat in the World Cup final against Argentina, is “a strong signal for everyone”, has estimated Christophe Galtier, the coach of the Parisian club. “Kylian had a great World Cup, and it’s also a strong signal for everyone that a player who was obviously disappointed not to lift the most beautiful of trophies, even if he was voted top scorer in this World Cup, to come very quickly in contact with the group and to prepare for the deadlines which are coming very quickly, ”continued the PSG coach.
While the Parisian players concerned by the World Cup were supposed to benefit from at least ten days of rest, Mbappé once again took everyone by surprise by joining his teammates so quickly. The top scorer in the competition, with 8 goals scored, author of a resounding hat-trick against the Argentinians, was thus expected from January 2023, just like the Argentinian Lionel Messi. But the Frenchman, who appeared very marked by the defeat of the Blues against the Albiceleste, especially during the celebrations in front of the French supporters, Monday Place de la Concorde in Paris, obviously wanted to hasten his reunion with the field, the day after his 24th anniversary. A sign of his great determination to erase this painful chapter as quickly as possible to move on.
