Luis Enrique's scathing exit on Kylian Mbappé
This is the hot topic that is fueling all the discussions this week: Kylian Mbappé is at the heart of the debates.
The Paris Saint-Germain star striker seems to be going through a particularly difficult period. His performance against Liverpool, well below his usual level, only confirmed a worrying slump. On the pitch, Mbappé showed signs of blatant poor form, lacking impact and efficiency. Off the field, rumors suggest a certain unease, which only intensifys the questions surrounding his situation.
Faced with this agitation, eyes were turned to Luis Enrique, now PSG coach, during his press conference this Friday. Asked about his star player, the Spanish technician was keen to provide his insight. Although cautious in his comments, he recognized that Mbappé's situation was a sensitive subject. “He’s a world-class player,” he said, before adding: “He’s going through a complicated moment, but I have no doubt about his ability to bounce back. This kind of phase is part of the life of an athlete at the highest level. »
Luis Enrique's words demonstrate unfailing support for his attacker, while underlining the high expectations that rest on Mbappé's shoulders. With important deadlines approaching for PSG, the club is hoping for a quick start from its star in order to return to performances that match his talent.
However, the Spanish technician chose to circumvent the question with skill. “ Nice try. You know that I never talk about players who don't wear the PSG jersey “, he replied with a smile, thus avoiding any controversy. A clear response which is part of the line of conduct he has adopted since the departure of the French star this summer. Luis Enrique remains faithful to his principle: not to speak publicly about Kylian Mbappé, now a sensitive subject outside the immediate concerns of the club.
With this statement, the PSG coach shows once again that he prefers to focus on the players currently under his management, avoiding reviving discussions around his former protégé. This posture, firm and constant, seems intended to preserve the serenity of the team in the face of external pressures.
