Kylian Mbappe’s ego has become problematic for the French national team, Jerome Rothen has said. He recently revealed that the PSG forward’s ego can no longer be managed by Didier Deschamps.
According to him, he is very shocked to see how Deschamps has been letting Mbappe get away with several things because he clearly needs to be checked.
He added that the fact remains, as at now, the ex Monaco striker has not had a successful Euros tournament.
His words, “That he is the leader on the pitch, no problem… that it [his ego] goes off the field too, that bothers me.”
“I think Didier Deschamps can no longer manage it and it is problematic. It is even surprising that he lets Kylian Mbappe do so many things.”
“It can be seen in his performances on the pitch. Today, we cannot say that Kylian Mbappe has had a successful Euros.”
“Is he in the right frame of mind like he was at PSG throughout the end of the season? I would say no.”
“We expect much better from Kylian Mbappe. Everyone thinks that Mbappe is one of the best players in Europe. But if you immediately put him in the category of the very best, you cannot be satisfied.”
“Is he aware that he does not have the class of some [of the others] in the group on set pieces?”
“Maybe he scores them in training. But I watch all of Mbappe’s matches. Do you remember a magnificent free-kick? From 25 metres?”
“On the other hand, I remember some from [Antoine] Griezmann, from [Paul] Pogba. That’s two already, a left footer and a right footer. So what is he [Mbappe] doing there?”
