PSG’s star striker no longer plays as much as before, that’s an established fact. Luis Enrique could only start him for the most important matches.
Since the announcement of Kylian Mbappé’s departure from Paris Saint-Germain was made public, the Parisian number 7 has seen his playing time reduced considerably. Luis Enrique regularly maintains vagueness regarding the management of his star striker, claiming that his team must already get used to evolving without him.
According to Antoine Kombouaré, the Spanish technician has a very specific idea in mind. “As a coach, there is what he says and what he does. The message he sends, perhaps, is ‘I am preparing for the future and at the same time I am preserving my jewel and making it play in the big matches in the Champions League and the Coupe de France’”confided the former coach of FC Nantes during an interview given to The Team.
Mbappé only started for big matches?
Kanak is waiting to see the next PSG meetings to find out if his theory holds up. “I perceive his message like this and I will now see what he will do, starting tomorrow in the Coupe de France against Nice. Mbappé only has one idea, and that is to go out through the front door. He is focused on the Champions League”imagines the former defender.
On Wednesday evening, the capital club will welcome OGC Nice to the Parc des Princes, for the quarter-finals of the Coupe de France. A decisive match for which the native of Bondy should once again be started by Luis Enrique, unlike the Ligue 1 match against Reims last Sunday.
