Kylian Mbappé, what’s the problem? At the start of the season, after his sidelining and his reintegration into the red and blue squad, the 24-year-old world champion scored eight goals in five matches.

Hence the rest of his response: “He’s not Superman when he scores eight goals but he’s not a normal player when he doesn’t score either. Everything is not all white or all black. There are nuances all the time. Kylian is a vital, decisive and decisive player for us. As with everyone else, my role is to ensure that we see his qualities, not his faults. To see if it is the qualities, which we know are immense, of Kylian Mbappé which will be highlighted against Stade Rennes on Sunday evening (8:45 p.m.), at Roazhon Park. Or rather its ugly little flaws…
