Facing the media, the Stade Rennais coach revealed what he had whispered in the ear of the French striker.
This entry into play by Kylian Mbappé in the 55th minute of Rennes-PSG (1-0) on Sunday evening, as part of the 19th day of Ligue 1, caused a lot of talk. The Parisian star was applauded by Roazhon Park, and above all, Bruno Genesio came to whisper a few words in his ear. But the mystery didn’t survive very long, because the former OL coach quite simply told the player all the good things he thought of him before his team’s victory over Bondy’s crack.

Genesio spoke to Mbappé
“I congratulated him for everything he does, everything he has done and everything he will do again, slipped the former Lyonnais tactician in a press conference at the end of the match. Apart from the very, very great player that he is, he is also someone I appreciate. A veritable concert of praise, deserved for the one who some legitimately consider to be the best player in the worlde.
