Dissatisfaction with Mbappé reaches a new level: PSG rebellion against the star player?

Dissatisfaction with Mbappé reaches a new level: PSG rebellion against the star player?

With the latest reports about Kylian Mbappe’s desire to change because he suddenly no longer feels comfortable at Paris Saint-Germain, displeasure within the team towards him is also growing. In the meantime he is said to be almost isolated in the team.

Kylian Mbappe would like to leave PSG in the next transfer summer. It would be a change that would take place just a year after his XXL contract extension and about the supposed necessity of which he should already be clear a few months after that decision.

This development alone, which is supported by various media reports, shows the absurdity of this extension along with all the additional privileges that the French international has been assured.

Mbappe causes team division: PSG star almost isolated from “Team Neymar”?

Which, understandably, also arouses the annoyance of teammates. After all, although it is big news that initially causes a lot of astonishment, it is still just another chapter in the recent unrest that has been heard again and again, which is either triggered directly by or at least around Mbappe.

For example the disputes with Neymar, the penalty farce or the notorious reluctance to play the center forward role, in which coach Christophe Galtier usually uses him. He has already visibly complained about this on the pitch and made fun of it on Instagram with the hashtag “pivotgang” (roughly: “Center Gang”). He thinks he could do better on the wings. He always makes that clear.

Noisy L’Equipe The result: Mbappe is now almost isolated internally, within the team.

As a result, he has only four teammates left: Presnel Kimpembe, Hugo Ekitike, Nordi Mukiele and his good buddy Achraf Hakimi. The rest of the players are more subordinate to the camp, which Neymar is leading, of all people, and who have an ice-cold relationship with the 23-year-old, or they belong to neither side.

The overriding problem: Such division poisons a team. Such tensions have been a frequent PSG problem over the past few years but now it seems to have reached a new level – with Mbappe, his contract and his demeanor as the catalyst.

The general mood of the star player also causes wonder. An insider reportedly told the French outlet (via sports picture): “One day he arrives at Camp des Loges [Trainingsstätte der Pariser, Anm. d. Red.] arrives, smiles, jokes and greets everyone, and the next day he arrives without a word, not looking at anyone. And it’s been that way since the start of the season.”

So the frustration is not only growing for Mbappe, but also for the rest of the team. Either they don’t understand his supposed problems and his resentment, or they don’t understand those who criticize him. Either way: It is much more about opposing each other than a necessary togetherness.
