“Whether by chance or not, Kylian Mbappé’s performance declined from the moment he announced his departure to the club’s management in February. However, according to Guy Lacombe, the criticisms are not justified.
A victory against Borussia Dortmund would have extinguished the controversy over the involvement of the French international, who is set to move to Real Madrid.
It’s a fact that Kylian Mbappé hasn’t had the best season of his career at PSG, despite quite honorable statistics (44 goals in all competitions). Some criticize him for a perceived lack of commitment, especially since his announcement of departure last February. His recent trip to Cannes and the organization of his farewell party in the midst of preparations for the Coupe de France final provide fodder for those who are quick to criticize him.
“It’s an impression”
During an interview with Culture PSG on the sidelines of the Coupe de France final against Lyon, Guy Lacombe shared his opinion on this controversy. “Less involved in his attitude? It’s also an impression we have because we knew he had a problem, and so our perception changed. Yes, I know, it’s complicated to admit. Because having a player like him was exceptional. Maybe we’ll really realize it when he’s no longer here,” he said.
Mbappé lacked luck
According to him, things could have been different if they had qualified for the Champions League final. “At the same time, we must recognize that against Dortmund, there were two or three posts, you know. So, it didn’t go in. And why didn’t it go in? Because it’s not just about the player’s luck or success, it’s the success of the whole team, it’s the success of the whole club. That’s very important,” Lacombe concluded.”
