France legend, Bixente Lizarazu has come out to blast French captain, Kylian Mbappe. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, the forward is clearly not the threat that he used to be for the national team, and Mbappe is now slow to find the best footballing version of himself.
Bixente added that the Frenchman is also no longer as explosive or decisive as he once was.
His words, “You can’t be insensitive to the feelings of the French team’s supporters, to the frustrations they may have, to the questions they may have. You have to try to answer them, give them hope, it’s part of the job and the emotional connection you have to have with your fans.
Perhaps he is less serene than usual, more tense because he is slow to find the best footballing version of himself. Mbappe is no longer as explosive or decisive as he was. He remains a very good scorer, a very good player of course, but he is no longer scary as before.”
WOW.
