At the start of the season, Bradley Barcola was blazing and piling up goals whether at PSG or the French team. Aware of the meteoric progress of his former teammate in Paris, Kylian Mbappé warned the press not to turn their backs on him when complications arise. Luis Enrique made a similar observation this Saturday.
The last goal scored by Bradley Barcola dates back to November 9 at Angers (4-2). That evening, at the stadium Raymond Kopathe French international had signed a double for the PSG. However, whether in selection or with the French champion, Stagger failed on every exit thereafter. Enough to spark rumors in the press of possible tensions between the winger and his coach Luis Enrique concerning a discrepancy between the coach's requests and his vision of things according to Foot Market.
Mbappé: “When there are matches where he does not score, you should not come and ask me the same questions to tell me that it is a draw”
Last September, Kylian Mbappé affirmed at a press conference during the international break that we should not fall on him in the event of less brilliant performances from Bradley Barcola. “I’m just happy for him. Before being a very good player, he is a very good boy. I wish him the best. I hope you spare it because today it's fresh, it's new. But when there are matches where he doesn't score, you shouldn't come and ask me the same questions to tell me that it's a draw. This is very great potential. He is in a big club in which he will progress and play big matches. He can do even better. In the match, he gains more confidence. His teammates have confidence in him. This is great news for him, PSG and the French team.”
Enrique: “For you, he was like Maradona at the start of the season, and now you don’t like him”
After seven matches without a single goal from Bradley Barcola, Luis Enrique was questioned this Saturday during a press point about the potential need to put it into competition. Enough to inspire the PSG coach who released this little barb to journalists about Stagger. “I’m very happy with Bradley. For you, he was like Maradona at the start of the season, and now you don't like him… It doesn't work like that. I'm happy with him. I want him to continue to improve. All players can have ups and downs, what matters is achieving the team's goals. I’m very happy with the whole team, regardless of the goals.” The message is clear.
