The media treatment of Kylia Mbappé in France is not the same as in Spain. For this former Canal+ star, enough is enough.
Real Madrid has the possibility of coming back to within one point of Barça in the event of a victory this Wednesday against Athletic Bilbao, a match during which Kylian Mbappé will once again be closely watched. The 25-year-old French footballer knows that Real Madrid expects more from him, but he has the absolute trust of Carlo Ancelotti and therefore time. In France, the situation is different. In addition to his departure from PSG, Mbappé caused trouble in his relationship with the Blues, his trip to Sweden while the France team was playing setting the fire. All this has put the former Parisian striker in the spotlight and for Pierre Ménès, this is detestable. The former star consultant of Canal+ believes in particular that The Teamwhere he was a journalist for a long time, plays a terrible role against Kylian Mbappé.
Pierre Ménès comes back against L’Equipe
Explaining himself on his Youtube channel, Pierre Ménès is not kind to the sports media and more generally those who criticize Kylian Mbappé. “ Everyone has always done too much with Kylian Mbappé. At one point, after his three goals in the World Cup final, we had the impression that he could succeed Emmanuel Macron with a snap of his fingers. Today, for the same people, it has become the last of the last. All this for commercial reasons, because talking about him when he is at the top or when he is on the ground sells. It's despicable. This week I denounced the L'Equipe article on the Stockholm affair since they say they know nothing, but they still recalled that it is the subject of an affair. I think it's sea journalism…, gutter journalism. I fell into the trap, because I clicked and there was nothing (…) When I see how he is treated in France by the media, by the people, I say to myself that if I were in his place , I would say myself… to everyone », Explains the former Canal+ journalist, very upset.
It is true that almost 2 months after his stay in Sweden, Kylian Mbappé apparently has no news from investigators. But it is good to remember that in this country, unlike in France, cases of this type are treated very confidentially, before the judge makes a decision. But all this annoys Pierre Ménès, who recalls that he too has been the target of serious accusations in recent years.
