The recent actions of the young Frenchman, Kylian Mbappé, the Paris Saint-Germain striker, are not admired by a wide segment of the fans and the French press. Rather, they have sparked their anger and dissatisfaction, and many did not like his performance on the field, especially in the matches he played in recent weeks, the last of which was the final. The French Cup against Olympique Lyonnais, which ended with a 2-1 victory for Saint-Germain, scored by Ousmane Dembélé and Fabian Rayes, not Mbappe.
The presenters of the “After Foot” program on the Monte Carlo Sport Radio and Television Network agreed that Mbappe is no longer the shining star they know, and one of the program’s presenters, Stephane Ge, said: I do not need to emphasize how much I adore this star, whom I called the “French genius.” But I have not found on the field recently anything that indicates this genius, and even off the field he was not a genius at all. Otherwise, what would be the point of him going to play a tennis match or traveling to Cannes to attend its international film festival? Rather, he was seen there attending a race. For Formula 1 cars, while there are only 19 days remaining until the start of the European Nations Cup, Euro 2024? He wondered: Is the person who does this a normal person?
He added: It was necessary for him to be more careful with himself, so that he would appear in the tournament at the level expected of him. He is the captain of the national team and the fans expect him to provide an exceptional performance, but it is difficult to imagine that he is capable of that.
As for Daniel Riolo, the main presenter of the program, he completely agreed with what his colleague Stefan Gee said, and added: Mbappe, who recently played in the cup final, and even weeks before that, is not the Mbappe who can lead the “Roosters” to the furthest extent in “Euro 2024.”
He said: His talent exploded in the last World Cup in 2022, and he won the title of top scorer in the tournament, and led the national team to the final match. Can he do that in the next European Championship? And will the training sessions conducted by coach Didier Deschamps be enough to return the “spoiled Bondi boy” to his return? His high level? There is no telling if this will happen.
He added: Mbappe has a lot of “good intentions,” even more than usual, but are these intentions enough for Mbappe to return to brilliance and scoring goals?
