Kylian Mbappé didn’t look particularly happy yesterday when he was replaced by Mauro Icardi in the 88th minute of the game between PSG and Montpellier. His anger was caused by his Brazilian teammate Neymar.
Because the 22-year-old would have liked to have asked for a pass from him, as the Brazilian had played on Draxler, who was also substituted in the 88th minute. The German had then taken care of the 2-0 final score.
In any case, the cameras of French television recorded clearly for all viewers how Mbappé complained to teammate Gueye about Neymar’s lack of overview on the substitute bench. Lip readers are said to have already deciphered that he said: “He just won’t pass the ball to me!”
Or maybe Mbappé was just frustrated at his own usury of opportunities. Because three times the 2018 world champion appeared quite free in front of their goalkeeper Omlin during the game against the southern French – and had forgiven miserably three times.
Mbappé’s anger at Neymar confirms the rumors that have emerged since the start of the season that Mbappé is not really satisfied with his role in the star ensemble of the Parisians. In the internal pecking order, he has to place himself behind superstar Messi and would-be superstar Neymar as number three.
Which the attacker apparently has his problems with. And if you’re not alluded to and taken out of the game shortly before the end, without scoring, such a group of me can get really angry.
But his chapter in Paris is probably coming to an end anyway. A report by Goal (via as.com), Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez is said to have confirmed to some fans who intercepted his car in front of the Bernabéu stadium on Saturday evening after the game against Mallorca (6-1) and asked him about the state of affairs, Mbappé next year sure to commit.
In any case, in Madrid, the Frenchman would no longer have to worry about Neymar’s missing passes.
