Kylian Mbappé is not doing well and that is probably why Didier Deschamps decided to leave him to rest for the France team's matches. A journalist sounds the alarm.
Marked by his last season at Paris SG where he suffered on the pitch the consequences of his desire to leave the club to join Real Madrid, Kylian Mbappé found a smile again during his presentation at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium during the summer. Eager to concentrate on football and mark the history of the Merengue club, the French international nevertheless skates. Despite a few goals, he is clearly not finding his feet, stepping on toes with Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham, and Real Madrid has even suffered bitter defeats in recent weeks.
In October, he decided to skip the French team gathering to recharge his batteries and officially focus on his 100% physical return. But he was caught by the patrol during a trip to Sweden, and would also be prosecuted for sexual assault according to the Scandinavian press for events which allegedly occurred during his stay in Stockholm. Since then, Mbappé has been even worse on the pitch, and certainly off it, underlines France Bleu Paris journalist Bruno Salomon, for whom it is time to talk about the mental health of athletes. Kylian Mbappé is the very symbol of very well paid footballers, but who are not necessarily doing as well as that.
Mbappé is not alone in being depressed
The fact that the subject is taboo, and that Deschamps makes the decision not to bring him to Clairefontaine, does not help us move forward on the subject. “ When do we talk about burnout in the football world? The authorities have no real player support program like in the NBA, NHL and others. We find ourselves in this situation with a coach who clumsily covers his player… », lamented Bruno Salomon, for whom the Mbappé case is not isolated. “ But he's not the only one… we're talking about Ben Yedder's dive… players in depression etc etc… no one speaks, no one speaks up “, pressed the journalist, for whom it is obvious that Kylian Mbappé is currently unhappy, and does not “ don't breathe the joy of living ».
