Mbappé Speaks Again, His First Words Since the PSG Standoff

Kylian Mbappé uttered a few words after the first half of Rennes-PSG.

It had been a long time since we had heard Kylian Mbappé’s voice. For several months, to be exact. Since June. The PSG player had not spoken to the press, whether with PSG or the French national team.

Radio silence was due to the standoff that began at the start of the summer with PSG. But Kylian has spoken again. It was at halftime during Rennes-PSG. He was brief, curt, not very enthusiastic.

« It’s just halftime; we’re winning 2-0, which is good. We need to win the match. I’m not the coach; we’re on the field, that’s what matters. We’re winning 2-0, and we’ll do everything to win this match, » said the Parisian forward.

Perhaps anecdotal, but more importantly, it may signal the end of the media silence imposed by the Mbappé camp for months.
