Djibril Cissé, former French international, does not understand Kylian Mbappé’s poor performance at the Euro.
Kylian Mbappé may be the best French scorer at the Euro, but his tournament has been terribly disappointing so far. Like the entire French team, the Bondy player is far from his optimal level.
This insufficient profitability has challenged Djibril Cissé, the former striker of the Blues. For him, the problem can only be mental. And he made a comparison with Cody Gakpo, the Dutch player who is scoring goals with the Oranje.
Mental problem for Mbappé?
“Gakpo, he goes, he makes his hook, he eliminates a player and he strikes. What Gakpo does, Mbappé cannot do. Why can one do it and the other not? It’s the same profile of player. Gakpo is perhaps mentally free,” suggested the AJA icon.
Author of three goals since the start of the competition, Gakpo has joined Georgian Mikautadze, German Jamal Musiala and Slovakian Ivan Schranz at the top of the scorers’ charts. Mbappé is only two points behind and can still hope to equal them, or even surpass them. Especially if France goes all the way in the competition.
