Kylian Mbappé is clearly in crisis and his absence from the France team reminds us that sporting problems are not the only ones weighing on his current form.
Kylian Mbappé comes up against a real wall for the first time in his career. In recent months, the French striker has no longer been able to rediscover what makes him strong: his speed, his carelessness, his precision and his efficiency. The two semi-finals against Dortmund, the Euro with France, the start of the season with Real Madrid, nothing is going well for the former PSG player, who misses the target, is caught offside profusely, steps on toes with his teammates, and above all sees his team string together disappointing results since he signed.
Mbappé did too much, Larqué accuses
Added to this are extra-sporting problems, notably his escapade in Sweden and the complaint which concerns him from a young woman according to the local press. But for Jean-Michel Larqué, the problem is deeper and concerns in particular his ability to have wanted to direct everything, notably at PSG when he was half in charge of recruitment, and also took a position on social problems.
« You shouldn't blame everything on him. But somewhere, when you're in a weak position, everything comes to the surface. When it was said that Mbappé wanted this or that, and made tantrums at PSG because he wanted this or that player. We talked about his intervention in quotes to bring in Dembélé, he never denied it. We have the impression that he got involved in things he had no business getting involved in. And to top it off, on a societal level, he spoke out when he shouldn't have. You Manu (Petit), we know your opinions, but you have never used the French team to talk about it. He got involved in things that were none of his business. It upsets him, the players are Formula 1 engines », assured the former AS Saint-Etienne player, for whom Kylian Mbappé has spread himself too thin in recent years and has ended up putting football in the background. An unforgivable sidelining as the high level demands are high for players of his rank.
