Sharp comment: Mbappe is discouraged and thinks about the way forward, who can be the next to accept genius?

A thousand readers will have a thousand Hamlet impressions in their minds, but in the hearts of a thousand fans, it is estimated that there is only one Mbappe:

After taking the ball, he began to accelerate, eat the opponent to score points, run to the sidelines to jump and hug his chest, and the hormones of youth accompanied by optimistic beauty carried all the yearning of young fans for the green field.

However, the broken dreams again and again also caused this very cheerful big boy to have a different kind of depression. After losing to Bayern this morning, he also sighed with disappointment: Perhaps, our limit is here. Yes, Mbappe wants to leave.

Disappointment spreads from 2019 to 2023

After the 0-2 defeat against Bayern, Kylian Mbappe's Paris Saint-Germain were once again eliminated 16-8, which was too far from their idea of winning the title, and it was the fundamental reason why he sighed so much. Even if he tries his best, it is difficult to match the power of the Southern King's aggregation, and the huge difference behind the small difference is covered. He certainly understood this, who was known as the chosen successor.

Just like the light car familiarity shown by Bayern when VS Inter, they also controlled the seemingly strong Paris in the second leg of VS Paris, and the rhythm was all on their side. Not to mention the advantage brought by the flash of inspiration of Paris killer Koeman in the first leg, Bayern did not give the opponent any chance after withstanding the opponent's snatching start in the second leg. The gap behind this is indeed frustrating for Mbappe.

"They've built a whole reliable team with the quality to win the Champions League and their goal this season is to win the Champions League. Obviously, we are not. Mbappe told the interviewer truthfully, "That's the limit [in Paris]." Disappointment was written all over his eyebrows, and the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" really didn't want to "endure" this time.

Of course, this disappointment adds up, but it is not just a loss to Bayern. At the end of 2022, the World Cup final lost to Argentina made the defense of the title empty talk. Watching Big Brother Messi lead the team to win the gold cup, Mbappe is still envious. Although he had also stood at this height, it was still difficult to be so close at hand and at the end of the world. Don't forget that his single-handedness in the final is really a supergod performance that is rare in a hundred years in the green circle. But who remembers the loser?

It's not over yet. The purchase of Messi in the 2021/22 season gave Paris more capital to wrestle with other giants, but the first round of the knockout round was frantically reversed by Real Madrid, which immediately brought the team's mentality to the bottom. How should Mbappé, who was still celebrating one second, feel the next as he watched Big Brother's "genuine" battleship sink his "aircraft carrier"?

Mbappe, who scored eight goals in 2020/21, ushered in a "new double" era with Haaland. However, the temptation to enter the final was snatched away by Guardiola. The 0-2 defeat in the second leg left Mbappe only watching his opponent celebrate, and his hands crossed his waist had no strength to vent;

Not to mention the 2019/20 season, after trying hard to reach the final, the opposite side stood Bayern Munich, who beat them this time. After being hit by Koeman's fatal blow, their efforts were meaningless. It was the closest he came to success, and perhaps the least worried Mbappe: he was only 21 years old, thinking that there was still a long way to go and more opportunities; But after a few years, I didn't expect it to be full of regrets.

Four years later, one World Cup and four Champions Leagues, Mbappe has maintained the expectations of the media and fans, and his personal level is still the top of the green circle; However, there is nothing new in honor, there is no breakthrough in the Champions League, the Golden Ball is far away, and Mr. World Football can only watch others receive the award. It is indeed not surprising that there is a grudge.

What is even sadder is the contrast, Messi's success in personal honor and team honor Grand Slam is the direction of Mbappe's struggle; Ramos won the World Cup and the Champions League softly, and he was not afraid of who would be with him; Even Donnarumma and Verratti have the blessing of the European Championship and are also champions...

There is no right or wrong way to pay

Since Paris came under the control of the Nasser Group, it has set the Champions League as the ultimate goal of the team. This is the supreme dream of the nouveau riche, and it is also the fundamental way to prove that they are definitely not "just rich" during the Jin Yuan period. To be honest, Nasser Group has paid a lot for this pursuit, including the introduction of Mbappe, Neymar, Messi, they have invested real money!

Let's not talk about the "moral dimension" of financial fairness, FFP, and disturbing fairness in world football. Paris has indeed built a reliable aircraft carrier fleet, whether you are a defensive star, a goal-scorer, or a goalkeeper octopus, if you have the ability, buy it. In this regard, the level of the team has also been maintained in a high range, and it is the first echelon team to compete for the championship. This is also the basis for Mbappé's ambitions.

Think of fellow talented Luka Doncic and you understand that he plays for the Dallas Mavericks, and he does not dare to have the illusion of competing for the NBA Gold Cup, after all, his teammates are too weak.

However, on the other hand, Mbappe's efforts are also 100% right to start his own contract. At the age of only 23 or 4, he has set a new number of glory, including the team's all-time goal record, and 201 goals are real contributions. His injury rate is not too high, and he can basically ensure that he is on call, whether in Ligue 1 or the Champions League heavyweight, he rarely has the phenomenon of "disengagement", which is very valuable for talent.

The same goes for critical battles. If he hadn't been injured in the first leg and had to come off the bench, perhaps the goal would have come earlier and wouldn't have been blown; Last season VS Real Madrid, he has led the team to complete 85% of the "victory progress bar", but Benzema is "unkind"; Eight goals in 2019/20 is enough to shine, and he also has 18 goals and three assists this season.

They are "right" with each other, and the big contract presented by Paris has also brought Mbappe's "status" and "identity" to the extreme, and the president personally came forward, plus the management of the club, and Mbappe, who was jokingly called the "director" by fans, is indeed unlimited rights.

However, no matter how hard the process is, it cannot push the desired conclusion. Perhaps, this is the indication of mismatch. Beat the air.

The reason, perhaps, does not need to be explained too much

The reason for these situations is directly related to the development of Paris and the structure of the team. Paris was originally an "all-star" team, like Edinson Cavani, Ibrahimovic, and Neymar before him, which were the main players of the team. After Mbappe joined, the team also expected him to work with his teammates, 1+1>2.

Unfortunately, Neymar's injury has led to the stranding of the plan, and the team's annual efforts are indeed a little "unlucky", which is frustrating. After Pochettino's departure, Galti's policies, such as counter-attacking after the main defense, buying new signings, and guarantees of stability, also seemed to have some problems, which led to today's defeat.

Look at how big the holes in the Paris defense are this season, and look at how awkward their midfield arrangements are, and you can see the root of this. This may be what made Mbappe say "we don't deserve". After purchasing a few green veterans, such problems will become more and more obvious, and they have entered the end of their careers with outstanding achievements, and it is really inappropriate to point to them to work hard.

The road ahead, the countdown to parting ways

In such circumstances, Mbappe's departure should be the "certain" thing. Already 24 years old, he will come to the "key node" of 25-year-old athletes, under the premise of Messi and Ronaldo as the goal of competition, whether you are a "utilitarian" or not, you should support Mbappe's pursuit of striving for personal glory. Time waits for no one.

Champions League winners will be Mbappe's next step, leaving Paris Saint-Germain he must come to a team capable of competing for the Champions League, which is a basic requirement and a "prerequisite". Leaving the basic platform of Paris, he has to fly higher.

But looking at the entire European stage, how many can say that they must be "higher" than Paris? Real Madrid must be one of them, as the superchampions of the Champions League and even the world's green circle, they have a natural attraction to stars, and Mbappe has been a part. However, that summer, that "contract," that conversation, seemed to close the door to cooperation. What would Florentino say about this kid who is quite optimistic about himself? How does the Kylian Mbappe team work to open the door at the Bernabeu again? It's too difficult. Marca newspaper has already "revealed" information to the public: Real Madrid do not pay attention to what happened in Mbappe and Paris...

Manchester City was also a good option, with Pep Guardiola's philosophy, so many reliable mid-field passers, the silent support of big owners, and years of fantasy about the Champions League. However, after Haaland joined last season, such cooperation may be infinitely close to zero. This season's financial crisis has also made Gua Shuai no longer have too many illusions, even if you have a rich and rival lawyer group, you can't be too ostentatious, right? Under the nose, it is still necessary to keep a low profile. Besides, it is too "excessive" to defend the title of "new double arrogance", and Mu and Ha probably do not want to become teammates so quickly and leave a "huddle" name.

Chelsea seems like an acceptable option, after all, Burleigh is "more than enough" than Abou, and this window gives people a picture of what it means to be "big business". In theory, Mbappe is also a good fit for the Blues' system, which lacks a reliable finisher. At the same time, Chelsea have very good "Champions League genes", as a gold dollar they have won this cup twice, and they can also advance when they play so poorly this season, which shows the level. However, can the madness of this winter window continue? Maybe the boss hasn't even counted in his mind.

Further down, it will be Manchester United and Liverpool. Ten Hag is very fond of Mbappe and has repeatedly "hinted" that the team needs a reliable goalscorer, and Mbappe can lead the team perfectly to solve this problem. At the same time, after sending away Cristiano Ronaldo, Old Trafford really lacks a star to crush, Mbappe has no contenders, and the team also needs a new No. 7. It's just that the 200 million+ transfer is too high. Manchester United are considering the issue of owner change, and it seems unrealistic to shell out such a large sum of capital. Liverpool's situation is basically the same, Mbappe's suitability does not need to be considered, and it is also a good choice for him to succeed Salah. However, it was "rumored" that Liverpool's offer of 400 million was rejected by Paris, which is too exaggerated (the Athletic).

The only downside to good things is that they are too expensive.

The remaining team wants to buy Mbappe, and the possibility is basically non-existent. Under the premise of considering the limited scope, in fact, this transaction is not easy to achieve. Transfer fees, signing fees, contract and portrait rights issues, and individual terms (such as status, tactical rights, etc.) are all details that require a little communication, any of which can be described as a "large-scale tug-of-war". Mbappe's team is too professional.

In Paris, on the other hand, if it is convinced that Mbappe will be sent away and the top management will agree, then the structure they have constructed, the trident of the team will be broken up (Messi will most likely go), and the road ahead will become particularly confusing. Perhaps, Nasser's ambitions ended there; After all, Mbappe is not just a player, but a symbol.
