Criticism began to reach Kylian Mbappé for not having the expected performances at Paris Saint Germain. After the beating that Newcastle gave him on the second date of the group stage of the Champions League, the French media harshly criticized 'Donatello'. Even L'equipe was lapidary with the score of only 2 points that it placed against the French forward. As they used to do with Lionel Messi, in the famous sports magazine they destroyed Mbappe.

In RMC Sports, in addition to criticizing him, they revealed a fact about Mbappe and his nights out that may worry PSG fans. "It is more than problematic. The parties that Mbappe is having in Paris at the moment and the reputation that is being forged throughout Paris with all the people talking, he has to be very careful with the things that could turn against him in the short term "commented journalist Daniel Riolo. In addition, he compared what Neymar Junior also used to do, when he was still playing in France, and recalled when 'Donatello' reprimanded his colleague for his constant social activity.

The journalist did not hold anything back and added: “I have already warned you! Be careful what Kylian Mbappe is becoming! And be careful with what people start saying about him everywhere.” In addition to what was said about Mbappe's possible dispersion, many questioned his performance on the field of play, so his technical director came out to defend him.

The support of Luis Enrique

The Paris Saint Germain coach spoke at a press conference prior to the match where he will visit Rennes. “Do you know how many years I have been training at the highest level? Several. Sometimes the coach makes mistakes, sometimes it's the players. I have to find the best way to play,” said the Spaniard in the first instance. "Football is a game of mistakes, of everyone. We all make mistakes. I have confidence in what I see. I am convinced that we will move forward," added Luis Enrique.

Then, the former Barcelona coach defended Mbappe: "Kylian is 100%. Players go through different states. He is neither Superman when he scores eight goals nor a normal player when he doesn't score. Not everything is black and white, there are nuances "He is a decisive player for us," he concluded.
