Despite his goal and his decisive pass against Germany last Sunday in the Nations League, Kylian Mbappé “disappeared” when he had to help the Blues in the defensive phase, deplores Jérôme Rothen.
After the slap received against Spain (5-4)The French team looked up
against Germany (2-0)Sunday evening in Stuttgart. Author of a goal and a decisive pass during this meeting for the 3e Place du Tournament, Kylian Mbappé was elected man of the match. But for Jérôme Rothen, the captain of the Blues did not deserve this distinction.
In his program “Rothen ignites” on RMC this Monday, the former midfielder of Paris Saint-Germain dissected the performance of the Real Madrid striker. And the latter did not really impress him. This is the least we can say …
“” I find that there are gaps. When the team is undergoing, it disappears too much for an attack leader. When she gets opportunities, as was the case against Spain where the French team had the ball, which he had lots of creators around him, there is in the position of number 9, that which is expected. (…) And he misses things that a player who proclaims himself “best player on the football planet” cannot afford to miss. You must be much more efficient my coconut ”Rothen shot.
Rothen on Mbappé: “I’m a little worried”
And to put a layer from it: ”
I do not have the impression that we are going in the direction of questioning. He is very satisfied with his two performances, and even his coach, so I am a little worried. And on yesterday’s performance (Sunday), when we take the broth for a half-time, what did he do Kylian Mbappé in good number 9 that he is? As very often he came to participate in the game because he wants to touch the ball. He sees that it is not served, he comes to participate in the game. You have seen the technical errors in the transmission between the environment and the attack? And you will tell me that yesterday, it deserves a 7 in the team? Because he put a goal and the assist? I’m sorry but you don’t need to call yourself Kylian Mbappé to open your eyes, the game asks for the pass. “”
Jérôme Rothen even says he is worried about the level of play displayed by Bondy’s kid. “” Kylian Mbappé, who was creative at one time, is no longer today,
he notes. This is why he plays number 9. He does not make enough efforts when he plays on the side, because when he has the arrested ball, he can no longer eliminate. It also has a lot of waste. And in his passes today, he has much more waste than usual. “”
