The Parisian coach praised the major performance of Kylian Mbappé this Sunday evening, in Montpellier (2-6).
“We have to take advantage of Kylian Mbappé as much as we can”greeted coach Luis Enrique after his superstar’s hat-trick during Paris SG’s victory against Montpellier (6-2) for the 26th day of Ligue 1. “Mbappé was exceptional, we have to take advantage of him as much as we can, when we can no longer take advantage of him we will have to raise our level”warned the Spanish technician. “Since he was born he has been scoring goals from outside the box”he smiled, referring to his second achievement.
Luis Enrique had cut into Kylian Mbappé’s playing time since his announcement to Parisian leaders that he would leave this summer, but he started him on Sunday evening and left him on the field for the entire match. Was he initially planning to line up Ousmane Dembélé in his place, who ultimately forfeited? “It doesn’t matter, we didn’t give the information”replied the coach.

Moreover, “it was a very complete match, we showed ambition, even if we had defensive problems, we conceded too many counterattacks. But we showed our ambitions in the second half, with spectacular goals”reported Luis Enrique.
After equalizing before half-time (2-2), Montpellier “lowered foot”regretted Michel Der Zakarian, the MHSC coach. “We had a good first half, we gave them a lot of problems offensively”, he added. Kylian Mbappé? “He scored us three goals, we know that when we give him time he has talent, he put it where it was needed”.
