Mess with the captaincy of Mbappé

PSG have not had a quiet week for many years. This time, the theme revolves around the captaincy. Last Monday, Kylian Mbappé wore the captain’s armband in the comfortable victory of the Parisians against Pays de Cassel (0-7), in a match in which the striker became the first player in the club’s history to score five goals in the same matcheither. Galtier, his coach, later acknowledged that he “had designated” Mbappé as the team’s second captain, in a decision that was not surprising at first, but has caused a bit of a stir.

In France, RMC Sport was reporting a day later that PSG are trying to get the talented Bondy to captain next season. The distinction is currently held by Marquinhos. It would be one more example of the importance that the player has in the project and could bring him closer to renewing for another year, that is, until 2025. Currently, Mbappé is the second captain, a decision that Kimpembe was not informed of, which was, until on Monday, the vice-captain of PSG.

The center, surprised, He uploaded a story to Instagram in which he assured that “he had not been informed” by PSG of the decision to give Mbappé the second captaincy, but that he “respected the club’s decision.” The Parisian team did not notify the youth squad player at any time that he was going to be relegated from his position as vice-captain. The relationship between the two, however, is healthy, but this decision has only generated a stir among the fans of the French institution.

“In the last hours I have been able to hear and read a lot about myself, so I want to make things clear to avoid continuing to spread false information to those who were not aware. this decision, this is completely false… Having said that, I will always respect the decisions of the club”.

Mbappé is currently just four goals away from matching Cavani as PSG’s all-time top scorer. He is the second captain of the team and in the French team, after the international retirement of Lloris, he could assume the captaincy of the two-time world champion. The player is in an extraordinary moment, just less than a month before facing the decisive knockout round of the Champions League against Bayern.
