Luis Enrique isn’t satisfied with Kylian Mbappé, despite his hat-trick. However, PSG provides clarifications.
Luis Enrique doesn’t mince words. Kylian Mbappé scored three goals in Reims-PSG, but the Spanish coach isn’t pleased with his player. « I’m not really happy with him today. Regarding the goals, I have nothing to say, but he can be better in a different way. I’ll talk to him; I won’t disclose what it’s about because it’s private. I think Kylian is one of the best players in the world, but we need more. We want him to do more things, » elaborated the Spanish coach on Prime Video.
A few minutes later, the same tone continued in the press conference. « Concerning Kylian, in terms of goals, I have nothing more to add; we know his value. However, I demand even more from him in the game, » said Luis Enrique facing the media.
« I know he is capable of doing better than today. He is one of the best players in the world, but he still has room for improvement. I don’t want him to rest on his laurels. He must continue to improve and help his teammates. »
