They weren’t angry. But it had been a few days now that their exchanges had been almost reduced to the strict minimum. Kylian Mbappé and Luis Enrique have renewed the dialogue. The day after his surprising and unusual replacement at the break in the match against Monaco (0-0) on Friday evening, the captain of the France team spoke with his coach.
According to information from RMC Sport that we are able to confirm, this Saturday morning Kylian Mbappé went to meet his trainer in order to burst the abscess and try to understand the reasons for the difference in treatment reserved for him since the announcement of his departure at the end of the season. This tête-à-tête lasting several minutes took place before the start of training. It helped calm a situation which, a few days before the meeting against Real Sociedad in the round of 16 of the Champions League, was beginning to take on the appearance of a crisis.
Since his decision to leave PSG at the end of the season was made public on February 15, and the announcement he made to this effect to Nasser Al-Khelaïfi then to his teammates, Kylian Mbappé has seen his playing time drastically reduced. On the bench at kick-off against Nantes, he only returned for the last half hour, then was replaced in the 65th minute against Rennes before being relieved at the break this Friday, against Monaco . His reaction, after this replacement, and his decision to join the stands directly surprised everyone, even beyond the borders of France.
“It’s very simple, sooner or later, we have to get used to playing without Kylian,” explained the Spaniard following the match against Rennes. When I want him to play, I make him play, and when I don’t want him to play, it’s the same. » A logic that he repeated when he was questioned about this very anticipated replacement at Louis-II: “It is my decision and it is a decision that I take with the objective, in my opinion, of obtaining the best for the team,” he said again at a press conference this Friday.
