According to a former Paris Saint-Germain player, Kylian Mbappe is at the forefront of the club and not the star player, which is why he’s struggling to accept that.
The 19-year-old signed a three-year deal with the Parisian club. He returned to action in his team’s win over Montpellier last weekend and sparked controversy with his attitude on the field.
One of the goals was scored from the penalty spot, as he has been in a great vein of form this season. The rivalry between the two teammates exploded after the Brazilian snubbed the younger player.
Kylian Mbappe really had the audacity to ask Neymar to give him the second penalty after he he missed his first one 😐 https://t.co/DxFML8jxqf
He shared his two cents on the rift between the two players. He said so.
“There is a problem within the club compared to everything that has been sold to Kylian so that he can stay. There are things that do not hold true. It’s a problem of hierarchy. In my opinion, (Kylian Mbappe) has no problem with Neymar because in no case did he ask that Neymar leave the club.”
He said that he would continue.
“It is the club that sold him a project where he is at the forefront of this project and that he was without Neymar at the base. How did Neymar accept that; how does he digest it? Apparently, he has trouble digesting and accepting the fact that Kylian is at the top of the project and that he is behind. That’s a real problem.”
Rothen was added
“If there are ego problems, and I can say that this is the reality, it will be difficult to manage for the staff, not only for Christophe Galtier but also for Luis Campos, Antero Henrique, the president, the club, the Emir, the supporters. It will be complicated; at the first gap, there will be problems between the two.”
In their third game of the season, Paris Saint-Germain will take on Lille on Sunday at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy.
PSG set to be hit with fines by UEFA over FFP breach
L’Equipe claims that Paris Saint-Germain will be hit with fines by the European Union over a Financial Fair Play (FFP) violation. If they don’t improve their financial situation over the next three years, the penalties will become harsher. They were also notified of that.
If they choose to contest the decision and file an appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, they will be able to avoid being excluded from the European club competition.
