Kylian Mbappé is expensive even though he asked not to come to the French team to take a breather (and to go to Sweden in the evening). Judo legend David Douillet tries to find an explanation.
While the matches of Didier Deschamps’ French team, still disappointing in the game, no longer excite many people, Kylian Mbappé unleashes passions. The captain of the Blues is therefore absent from the current gathering in order to breathe a little. According to Foot Mercato On Saturday, the 25-year-old superstar had requested last month to be excused from the two matches in October against Israel (1-4 victory on Thursday) and Belgium (next Monday in Brussels). So it was planned even before his slight muscle injury at the end of September…
By heading to Sweden during the four days of rest granted by the Real Madrid staff, to spend two evenings in a nightclub in Stockholm, Mbappé sparked a new scandal. Sports news commentators are having a field day, like on RMC. Even if David Douillet tries to understand the decisions of this star footballer who is already world champion, top scorer in the history of PSG and new star of Real before his 26th birthday.
Mbappé wants to live
“He has a lot of maturity. He started very young. He has already experienced everything at 25 years old. If it’s happening like this now, it’s because he wants to live, everything is too heavy and he needs to breathe. He’s just a man. It’s complicated to go through all this,” thus launches the double Olympic judo champion (in Atlanta in 96 and Sydney in 2000), into the Grandes Gueules of sport. The prodigy from Bondy exploded in 2017 with AS Monaco and perhaps he actually needs to live like a young person of his age. Even his idol Cristiano Ronaldo, a model of professionalism, had his festive period.
David Douillet does not forget, however, that Mbappé chose the evening of a Blues match to have fun in a nightclub with Nordi Mukiele as well as numerous guests (according to local media):
“It’s game night, which means he doesn’t really care. How will teammates react? When you are captain and you symbolize the control tower of a team and the very evening of a match, you have nothing to worry about, you go to restaurants and nightclubs… His friends, who have this image now in their heads, how will they consider it for the future? What credibility will you have next? ».
