Mbappe, who was sullen at the club, had hoped to find a sense of being a leader in the national team. However, after losing 2-0 to Denmark, Mbappe was once again bombarded by the media and fans. Relying solely on high salaries and off-pitch right and wrong cannot make Mbappe a true leader.
Unlike the low profile of his career, Mbappe aspires to be a leader, both at club and in the national team. After renewing his contract with Paris at a sky-high annual salary, Mbappe became the "boss" of the dressing room, and although he was ridiculed by Neymar, from the result of the penalty goal, Mbappe has been corrected by the club. However, in the French national team, Mbappe could not become a leader.
Selfish "leaders"
In the battle against Austria, Mbappe broke into the long-range world wave, but also missed the opportunity twice. Against Denmark, Mbappe became one of the worst performers. France Soccer gave him just three points after the game, "He missed a lot of chances and played another disappointing game." ”
Compared to Denmark, France lacks cohesion and the desire to win, and Kylian Mbappe is the most disappointing player. Of the three strikers in the starting line-up, Kylian Mbappe was the only one to play the full 90 minutes, however, he also missed several good chances to break the goal.
Not only that, but Mbappe's 49th-minute pass also made him ridiculed. After getting the ball on the left, Mbappe seemed to pass like a shot, but the pass flew into the stands. Some fans mocked on social networks, "Mbappe is really at a different level than others, but everyone will only blame Kamavenga after the defeat." There were also fans who compared Kylian Mbappe's pass to a shot from Núñez in training for the Uruguay national team.
After becoming "General Mul", Mbappe not only did not look like a real leader, but became more and more selfish. In the 16 games of the national team and the club, Mbappe has never provided an assist. Instead, Mbappe repeatedly forced shots into the goal with poor angles on goal.
Mbappe was once the darling of the French media, but even the French media began to criticize the wayward and selfish Mbappe. After the 1-0 win over Lyon, France Football gave Mbappe a 3-pointer, "Mbappe played a really bad game and he often made wrong decisions. ”
Legend star Le Bouve noted without mercy that "if Kylian Mbappe wants to be the leader of the French team, he must show his ability on the pitch." So far, he hasn't shown that. ”
Mbappe never hid his desire to become the leader of the French team, and on the first day of his return to the national team, Mbappe refused to participate in the activities of the national team sponsors, forcing the French Football Association to give in.
Having won a battle for the right to the image of the French Football Association, Mbappe said it was for his teammates. However, if he wants to be truly respected by his French team-mates, he needs to shine on the pitch.
Habitual invisibility
After losing to Denmark, Mbappe disappeared. This is not the only time he has disappeared when the team needs it, when Mbappe lost a key football penalty when he was eliminated by Switzerland in the round of 16 of Euro 2020, and then made a big fuss about the French Football Association, believing that they did not protect themselves.
The same is true at the club, where Mbappe showed no performance in the 2019-20 Champions League final against Bayern. In the 2020-21 season, Paris was eliminated by Manchester City in the semi-finals of the Champions League, and Mbappe also "disappeared".
In the round of 16 of the 2021-22 Champions League, Mbappe scored against Real Madrid in both legs, but Paris was eliminated. Suffice it to say that a Mbappe at his best won't be able to help Paris achieve his dream of winning the title.
After the win over Austria, Mbappe hinted that he did not have enough support at the club, saying he could play more freely in France. Whether at club or in the national team, Mbappe does not want to play in the defense and asks for the support of the whole team.
Kylian Mbappe has never been a humble player and is not afraid to reveal his true desires. However, Mbappe is not yet Ronaldo, no drama, and may never reach the height of these two Golden Globes.
Unlike at the club, Mbappe was favoured by Deschamps in the national team. In fact, many people in the industry have criticized Deschamps for giving Mbappe. At Euro 2020, Rabio's mother publicly stated that Mbappe was too arrogant and asked Mbappe's father to educate his son well.
Mbappe's arrogance is also unbearable for his teammates, with Paredes, who switched to Juve in the summer window, saying, "I can't talk about Mbappe, I can't talk about people who have nothing to do with me. "You know, they've been teammates for four years.
Legendary, who used to play for Monaco and Paris, said: "If Mbappe is so arrogant, it is because many people have opened their doors to him, Deschamps has opened a lot of doors that he will never open. ”
Kylian Mbappe's poor performance against Denmark was a wake-up call for France. Deschamps should reflect on whether Mbappe deserves such treatment.
It should be pointed out that at the age of 23, C Ronaldo and Messi have already won the Golden Globe and the Champions League. Mbappe, 23, has yet to win both honours but has shown the arrogance of a superstar.
