The months he has left wearing the Parisian team’s shirt before signing for Real Madrid will not be easy. Especially on the part of Luis Enrique and the fans of a group that this Friday attended a surreal episode. Mbappé was substituted at half-time in the match against Monaco when the two teams were 0-0. He ended up watching the match in the stands next to his mother and agentFayza Lamari, laughing, as if the grass thing wasn’t with him.
Luis Enrique: “He will play when he considers it appropriate”
All this happens just a few days before PSG travel to Donosti to face Real Sociedad in the second leg of the Champions League round of 16, a match they go into with a two-goal advantage. It is not the first time that Luis Enrique makes a similar decision. Since it was known that he informed Nasser Al-Khelaifi, president of his team, of his decision to leave at the end of the season, ‘Lucho’ has come to terms with the idea of learning to play without him.

This is what he recognized after PSG’s 0-0 final against Monaco. “When I consider it appropriate he will play and, when not, he will not. As all coaches do. Sooner or later this is going to happen. At some point we will have to learn to play without Kylian“, defends the Asturian, who also changed the captain against Rennes.

After the match in Monaco, where he played several seasons after leaving his youth team and before signing for PSG, Luis Enrique was once again besieged with questions about the management of the situation of the future signing of the white team. “And what makes you think that your team can win the game without him?”he replied.
PSG fans: “The pseudo-captain mocks the team”
“I’m not going to get into that game. I am a professional and I already responded to your colleague and I continue to respond in the same way: there is no problem, for me it is just a matter of management and form. In my opinion, I manage the team the best I can,” added the coach. What pissed off PSG fans the most was what happened after Mbappé’s change. The cameras of the broadcast, which is provided by Prime Video, They caught the player smiling and talking on his cell phone in the locker room tunnel.
He then crossed the stadium greeting fans, doing a lap of honor and signing autographs. He ended up watching the match in the stands with his mother and agent, Fayza Lamari.

A broadcast ‘show’ that filled social networks with messages against Mbappé, but also ‘Lucho’. “We finished the game without the ‘pseudo-captain’ who mocks the team by going to the box after he was replaced.” “Let’s see when we blow the whistle on Mbappé like we did with Messi”. “That coach has to know that the season ends in June.” Debates that seem foreign to the French international.
