Kylian Mbappe is a rare talent of world football. However, the noise of the French star is making him a danger to the club, coach and teammates.

The Prophet’s Prophecy

Nearly three years ago, Kylian Mbappe came on as a substitute and scored a hat-trick in PSG’s win over Club Brugge in the Champions League. While everyone is “busy” praising the talent of the French star, former French player Christophe Dugarry is worried: “I am afraid the dream may be broken with this boy. I feel his career. Mbappe can quickly turn in a bad direction.”

Christophe Dugarry’s concern began with Mbappe’s words after the match against Club Brugge. “Putting me on the bench is the manager’s decision and I have to accept it. But I want to show again that it’s hard to win without me,” he said. For most fans, it’s the weapon of a conqueror. However, Dugarry thinks it is the beginning of a “war of egos” at the Parc des Princes if Mbappe is free to develop without control.

At that time, Dugarry admitted that he was too strict with Mbappe and affirmed “this is a good boy.” But after 3 years, the remarks of the 1998 World Cup champion gradually became true.

After the draw with Reims a few days ago, Mbappe took to social media to be dissatisfied with being arranged by PSG head coach Christophe Galtier to play as a striker. “In the French team, I play differently. I have more freedom than at the club. The French coach always arranges a striker so that I can penetrate the spaces. Meanwhile, PSG asked me to play. plug,” he said.

In the face of allusions from his students, coach Galtier chose to “reconcilely and preciously”, calling these words normal analysis. However, fans are still annoyed with the way Mbappe complains about tactical demands from the coach. More importantly, PSG under the French strategist is playing well and Mbappe is still a “son of god” in the Paris team.

The 23-year-old is starting to look like a player who believes he is more important than the club and that is probably not his fault. PSG have denied Mbappe has a big role at the Parc des Princes after agreeing to a three-year contract extension for a world-record fee. However, everyone understands that president Nasser Al-Khelaifi has given the striker born in 1998 privileges. It was PSG who, in fear of losing Mbappe, were too indulgent and turned Mbappe into a bad boy.

In August, a video recorded Mbappe suddenly stopped playing after not receiving a pass from his teammates. Coach Galtier once again had to explain Mbappe’s actions that “he is tired, he needs to rest”. He had to continue to solve the penalty contest between Mbappe and Neymar like a father raising a rebellious child. Or more negatively, Galtier tries to protect Mbappe because he does not want to be unemployed?

Legendary Emmanuel Petit used to worry that Mbappe would be “Neymarized” with his playfulness and star disease. But while the Brazilian star is becoming more mature and excellent, Mbappe is isolating himself.

Underwater waves in the Parc des Princes

Mbappe still plays excellently and continuously breaks records. However, public expressions of dissatisfaction with PSG make the future of this player once again a hot issue. More or less, this will also affect Mbappe’s playing mentality. Besides, inside PSG may not be able to keep the necessary solidarity because in a collective sport like football, no one likes the attitude of “son of god”. And it will be difficult for PSG to focus on finding trophies if they keep appearing in the press about non-specialist issues.

More importantly, what is happening is not good for Mbappe’s development. He is only 23 years old and is the brightest talent in French football at the moment. Compared to Messi and Ronaldo, Mbappe is still far away in terms of qualifications (let alone attitude). Mbappe seems to be carrying in him inhibitions, irritability and a sense of threatened power. Once the mind is distracted and uncomfortable, the performance on the field will also deteriorate over time.

No need to compare with two unique stars in football history, Messi and Ronaldo, Mbappe is gradually losing points before Haaland. The Norwegian striker continuously conquers milestones in the English Premier League with an extremely humble attitude. Haaland graciously wrapped his shirt and gave it to the staff, stopped to pick up a spray bottle for the referee and always spoke very maturely.

It’s the attitude needed to help a young star break through her limits to enter the legendary temple. In an age of football where Messi and Ronaldo have set very high standards, Mbappe will have to prove even more if he is to approach the greatness of the two living legends.

Mbappe is young and has many opportunities to correct mistakes. In front of this striker is the 2022 World Cup with the task of defending the arduous championship title. In the national team level arena, team cohesion is the most important thing. Mbappe needs to limit the “I” before the complacency appears to destroy the career and the dream of French fans.
