In a viral video, PSG manager Luis Enrique blasted Kylian Mbappé by comparing him to Michael Jordan for his defensive work rate.
It was obvious that the Paris Saint-Germain coach wanted the French player to put in more effort while he was still with the team during what must have been a stressful season for the French striker before his departure for Real Madrid on a free transfer.
For many years, Mbappé was a top player for PSG, but since then he has yet to be able to win the Champions League.
It has long been thought that Bondy’s Kyky could follow in the footsteps of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, who cemented their place as all-time great players by winning the title of Europe’s premier club multiple times.
Luis Enrique compares Mbappé and Michael Jordan
It’s possible that he hasn’t yet reached the level of success that some fans and analysts might have anticipated based on his work rate.
The French international is also known to admire basketball superstar Michael Jordan, but the manager claimed he would have to play much better defense if he wanted to emulate him.
Luis Enrique seemed to have no problem criticizing Mbappé during a private meeting last year, which may help you understand why the 25-year-old ultimately left the club to pursue a new challenge.
In the final year of his contract with PSG, Mbappé may not have been able to meet the PSG coach’s tactical standards, so it wasn’t the easiest situation for everyone.
