Daniel Riolo spoke about a subject that is close to his heart, the situation of Kylian Mbappé who has not recovered from his open conflict with PSG.
This is the big topic of the moment regarding Kylian Mbappé. Nobody talks about his goals anymore like last weekend against Leganes, or his performances, or even his transfer. Everyone is focused on his body language, his lost gaze, his resulting missed opportunities and the fact that he clearly hasn't been able to get his head in the right direction for several months now. The end of the season at PSG, the catastrophic Euro and the first complicated steps at Real Madrid form a whole where not the player, but the man, is weakened. Nothing surprising for Daniel Riolo, who had denounced for more than a year the turn taken by Kylian Mbappé, who started to go out more, to be at odds with his club and to lose his feelings, his carefreeness.
You can earn 30 ME per year and be depressed
Questioned by Le Figaro, Daniel Riolo spoke about the state of mental health of Kylian Mbappé, and the fact that according to him, PSG managed to destroy him in his last season, with his sidelining, the tensions over his salary, the pressure and relegation to the sidelines. “ He is not far from a depressive state. The year he spent at PSG. Complicated, very complicated. When you're not feeling well in your head, when the club annoys you because they don't want to make you play anymore, when it borders on harassment, when you start to go out. All this exists, even when you earn 30 million a year, I imagine that you are still a bit of a man, and that you are not just a robot and that things end up getting to you », Underlined Daniel Riolo, who does not want the general public to believe that very well paid stars cannot have a mood.
And in the case of Mbappé, it was really the relationship with PSG last season that got to the French striker. And the RMC consultant assumes his support for the former Monegasque in his legal war with Paris, who is in all the wrongs according to him. “ On the tense issues around Kylian, I think I was just the voice of reason. Mbappé was perfectly within his rights in terms of contract, and those who messed up and did anything were the leaders of PSG. I didn't defend Mbappé, I just said that he wasn't going to leave (be sold) and that he was going to do his last year of contract and it was going to go badly. And it went wrong », Delivered the After Foot speaker, for whom everything was so predictable that he does not understand why Nasser Al-Khelaïfi and the leaders of PSG did not see anything coming.
