PSG: "Pivot gang", the ironic and controversial story of Mbappé?

2022-10-09T05:40:12.708Z


The Parisian striker split a critical message about his positioning late Saturday evening, after Reims-PSG (0-0), before … erasing it.


Two little words that will make people talk.

"

Pivot gang

".

This is the hashtag slipped at the bottom of a story published last night by Kylian Mbappé on Instagram, after PSG's draw in Reims (0-0) on Saturday during the 10th day of L1.

You have to believe that the bus trip from Champagne inspired him... A story that has since disappeared.

Except to consider the track of a hack, the crack of Bondy seems to have let his frustration about his positioning speak, an ironic message in the form of a tackle to Christophe Galtier.

If necessary, this could quickly refresh the atmosphere on the Camp des Loges side...

Freer in Blue than at PSG

We remember his exit about this role of pivot which does not suit him on the occasion of the last gathering of the France team.

I have a lot more freedom (in the France team), the coach (Didier Deschamps) knows that there is a number 9 like Olive (Giroud), who occupies the defenses, and I can walk around, go in space, ask for balloons... In Paris, it's different, there isn't that, I'm asked to do the pivot

", he had indicated, leaving little doubt as to his preference, even if he had said "

take pleasure everywhere

".

What "Galette" had answered philosophically before the recent victory over Nice (2-1), affirming both that "

his analysis is right

“And that the idea was not to use it that way at the start, with the quest remained in vain for a “

reference player

” in the surface.

And to add: “

I don't think Kylian has less freedom.

He is smart enough to find the right movements and the right associations with Leo (Messi) who can give him the ball at the right time and especially Ney who gives it to him in his preferential zone.

Assuming that Mbappé's nocturnal message - which does not show overwhelming enthusiasm for the Parisian project - is proven, well written by the 23-year-old world champion, it would be a huge stone in Galtier's garden.

The latter already has to deal with a workforce weakened by injuries and suspensions in an "

insane calendar

", while "his" PSG seems to be marking time collectively.

And this with always the eternal problem of managing emotions, like the “

lack of control

” seen on Saturday evening in Delaune.

A match in which "KM" was as ineffective as during Benfica-PSG last Wednesday (1-1), in C1.

Kylian was somewhat orphaned by Leo and Ney.

Christophe Galtier

Kylian was a bit orphaned by Leo (forfeit) and Ney (substitute at kick-off), I suspected that, explained Christophe Galtier on Saturday.

The plan was for the association with Ney, who has been playing a lot lately, to exist at some point.

As soon as Ney returned (57th), we saw good relations and it was also at this time that our second period was more interesting when we were outnumbered (Ramos sent off in the 42nd).

Unfortunately, Ney missed a bit of accuracy on his face-to-face (after an opening from Mbappé).

Kylian fell on a goalkeeper (Diouf) who made a decisive save on his own.

It also plays out below, even if we must not be satisfied with that.

“A priori, Kylian Mbappé is not decided to be satisfied with that either, he who was promised the moon to convince him to stay last summer and who finds himself evolving in a position which is not his, which is not the one he wants.

Self-centered ?

Maybe… We can also notice that he would probably wear the Real jersey if we hadn't rolled out the red carpet for him in Paris.

Charge to Christophe Galtier to get by.
