PSG’s Undeniable Dependency on Mbappé: A Looming Problem for the French Giants

Although Luis Enrique has systematically reiterated in recent weeks that his team, PSG, has to get used sooner or later to playing without Mbappé, trying to do so in Ligue 1 by substituting him in the last games, the reality is that the data does not They lie and the Parisian team continues to be very dependent on the French international, one of the best players in the world, if not the best, who is shattering all records for another year. His departure in the summer, in fact, is going to be a difficult problem to solve.

On Sunday, in Montpellier, it was once again demonstrated that Mbappé is more than half PSG. Previously, in the three previous league matches, Luis Enrique had controlled him, substituting him in two and leaving him as a substitute in a third, resulting in three consecutive draws in which, curiously, the team’s captain had not played the full 90 minutes. French.

The statistics are once again revealing and show that PSG has an extreme dependence on Mbappé. It is logical, because there are few forwards in the world, if not none, who make the difference so easily. In total, the Bondy star has scored 39 goals and 8 assists in all competitions, 47 goal involvements, with Kolo Muani being second, light years behind his teammate, with 9 goals and 5 assists, and Dembélé third, 1 goal and 11 assists.

No matter how much Luis Enrique insists on trying to create a team that does not depend on Mbappé, his presence on the field ostensibly brings PSG closer to victory. In the last five Ligue 1 games, after announcing his departure at the end of the season, the Ligue 1 leader only won one in which the striker did not score, against Lille, in which he did not play a single minute as he was touched on the ankle.

Then, in addition to the three draws in a row, Rennes, Monaco and Reims, in which he did not play the entire match, in the two games in which Mbappé scored, against Nantes, a substitute, and Montpellier this Sunday, hat-trick and 90 minutes, PSG took the victory. Luis Enrique continues to look for a formula, at least in the domestic championship, so that the rest of the players generate a team that does not depend on the goals of the world champion in 2018, the data denotes that, at least this year, PSG is much less dangerous without him on the field. Starting in June, the Asturian coach has duties to forge a team that tries, as far as possible, to forget the very difficult departure of the top scorer in the club’s history.
