In a press conference with the French national team on Tuesday, Kylian Mbappé confirmed that his reduced playing time at the end of the season was a directive from PSG. However, Luis Enrique intervened.

Less than 24 hours after his departure from PSG, the player confirms some rumors. Yes, PSG imposed that he no longer play, after he announced his desire to join Real Madrid and not extend.

« I was made to understand (that I would not play with Paris), I was told it to my face, I was spoken to violently, I was told. Luis Enrique and Luis Campos saved me. I would not have set foot on the pitch again without them. That’s the truth, that’s why I’ve always had this gratitude for the coach and the sporting director, » he said, without giving specific names.

« At PSG I was not unhappy, that would be spitting in the soup and in the face of the people who defended me, I have always been happy. But there were things that made me unhappy. But a player like me couldn’t show it because I’m a leader. So they followed me and I tried to be as positive as possible. The coach, the players and the club’s employees supported me. It would be a bit bastard to come and spit and say I was unhappy. But there were things and people that made me unhappy. »

« I’m handsomely paid to play football »

« There’s a lot of pressure, but it’s just football and there are worse things in life. I’ve always had this upbringing of not coming to cry. I’m handsomely paid to play football and follow my passion while some people get up to go to the factory and do a hard job. I keep saying that what I’ve experienced I wouldn’t wish on anyone. »

« So I find it out of place to come and complain when I see what’s going on, there are much worse things in the world. It wasn’t easy but it’s part of my education. I maybe should have but that’s how it is. For the messages received, I couldn’t see everything but just take the time to think about me but for sure I saw Cristiano Ronaldo, Sergio Ramos, Iker Casillas, my future teammates, former partners. It’s really nice and it contributes to my fulfillment with the smile I have. Thank you and I hope to live up to it. »

Mbappé’s comments shed light on the tensions that led to his departure from PSG. It is clear that he felt mistreated by the club, and that Luis Enrique played a key role in keeping him motivated. Mbappé’s future at Real Madrid is now bright, and he will be looking to prove his worth to his new fans.
