Holder of a Master's degree in international law, I realized at the end of my university career that it was important to evolve in a field that you appreciate. Overnight, I decided to put an end to my parents' dream, who saw in me a future lawyer, to make a living from my passion: sport. Since then, I have covered transfer windows and sports news, trying to keep readers informed as best as possible.
This end of the year 2024 is to be forgotten for Kylian Mbappé. At the heart of a rape and sexual assault case, the Real Madrid player is also going through a down period on the pitch. For those around him, fate is relentless on him. But for Emmanuel Petit, the 2018 world champion is largely responsible for his setbacks.
We tend to say that those who are absent are often wrong. But to say that an appearance by Kylian Mbappé in the jersey of the France team in November would have caused his popularity to skyrocket is slightly simplistic. Because for several weeks, the international tricolor has also been cited in a case of rape and sexual assault in Suede. This affair tarnishes its already damaged image. For several months, Mbappé suffers from a popularity deficit that his entourage falls to journalists.
“He made mistakes on many points”
But for Emmanuel Petitthe 2018 world champion also made many mistakes. “ You may have the feeling that there is relentlessness, harassment. But he failed on many points. I don't remember a player of Mbappé's caliber falling like that, in the space of 16 months. I think he has the solution in his hands. He has a status that he must assume, he is aware of what must be done” declared the 1998 world champion.
Petit clarifies his remarks
However, Petit believes that some people go too far in their comments. “ It bothers me that people are happy about his discomfort at Real Madrid. There are things on which I do not agree with Mbappé lately, both in his attitudes and his communication. There are also things we don't know. But he's not responsible for all the mess around him » he declared during an interview with Colinterview.
