Kylian Mbappé has been heavily shielded by his inner circle in recent weeks, according to L’Equipe.
Kylian Mbappé placed in a bubble… or nearly so. According to L’Equipe, the player’s inner circle has implemented a true mental protection for the PSG player, especially since rumors of a departure to Real Madrid surfaced.
« In his circle, they are very aware of the risk of saturation. To avoid a form of mental fatigue and shield him from questions about his future, a kind of bubble has been formed. But Mbappé, and he said it, is not impermeable, » the sports newspaper writes this Tuesday.
Mbappé Protected but Disturbed ?
Last week with the French national team, Kylian Mbappé did not escape questions about his mental state. « When you see my recent performances, do you see a disturbed guy? What happens outside, we don’t care. I am focused on the next match. We have seen everything that has happened in recent weeks. I have been performing in the matches that count, my goal will be to perform in the matches that count. I am not responsible for what people say, but I see, yes, I see, » Kylian Mbappé said in a press conference.
But at PSG, the situation seems different. Benched, substituted during the match by Luis Enrique… Mbappé’s status has suddenly shifted since his announcement – internally – of his choice to leave the club for Real Madrid. Naturally, the images of the chaotic exit of the forward during OM-PSG raise questions. Did the player insult Luis Enrique? Difficult to answer. But the image published a few minutes after PSG’s victory in Marseille calls these statements into question… Mbappé is not as well as he claims.
