In recent months, Pascal Dupraz has been blowing hot and cold a bit with Mbappé. If he has often supported the Frenchman’s cause at the end of his tumultuous adventure with Paris, and even today in the context of the financial dispute between them, he also sometimes takes it back, like this Sunday , in the show The Big Mouths of Sport on RMC. By reviewing Kylian Mbappé’s latest controversies, the former Toulouse coach simply felt that the Madrilenian was no longer a star. At least, in his eyes.
“You fall into the trap, and you forget an objective criterion. I have drawn up a long list (which allows us to identify a star, editor’s note): the talent of the champion, his track record, his notoriety, his popularity, the emotions he provides, his exemplarity, his emoluments, the notoriety of his sport . What makes the difference between Mbappé and Antoine Dupont (the rugby player) is that, if Dupont was not world champion with the XV of France, it is perhaps because he was injured. Now I refer you to subjectivity. For me, Mbappé is not a star, because he is no longer exemplary, but Dupont is. For me, Dupont embodies the ideal son-in-law.”
