« Lack of respect »: Mbappé’s entourage criticizes Luis Enrique

According to L’Equipe, Kylian Mbappé’s close circle denounces the player’s substitution during OM-PSG.

Kylian Mbappé’s substitution in the 63rd minute of the Classico, won 2-0 against Olympique de Marseille on Sunday, continues to stir controversy. The player’s entourage criticizes his management during the match.

« Contacted, Kylian Mbappé’s entourage declined to comment. Some of his close associates considered his substitution in such a context (the last Classico) on Sunday as a lack of respect, especially at a time when there were going to be spaces, » a source told L’Equipe.

« Luis Enrique, on the other hand, probably has other considerations as well. During the interviews preceding his hiring last summer, he had assured that he would not engage in politics in the locker room and that he would stand by his choices without leniency. ‘In this sequence, he shows that he is the boss in front of the team’s biggest star,’ says an insider from the locker room. »
