Appearing at a press conference on the eve of the match against Luxembourg, Kylian Mbappé took the opportunity to talk about his season and explain his discomfort at PSG. The French striker even took the liberty of settling scores – without mentioning him – with Nasser Al-Khelaïfi. “Maybe not the right time” for Daniel Riolo, who however does not throw stones at the attacker.
Kylian Mbappé had a lot to say at a press conference. The day after the announcement of his signing for Real Madrid, the captain of the Blues took advantage of the presence of journalists on the eve of a friendly match against Luxembourg to settle scores with PSG and Nasser Al-Khelaïfi – without jamasi cite it.
“They made me understand that I would not play with Paris, they said it to my face, they spoke to me violently, they told me,” assured Mbappé. “Luis Enrique and Luis Campos saved me. I wouldn’t have set foot on the pitch again without them. It’s the truth, that’s why I always had this recognition from the coach and the sports director.” Adding: “At PSG, I wasn’t unhappy, that would be a shame and in the face of the people who defended me. I was always happy. But things and people made me unhappy.”
For Daniel Riolo, this explanation was expected. Only the framework can raise questions. “We expected this explanation, that it would take the form of a settling of scores. Was this the place? I don’t know. It’s perhaps the only thing that bothered me is disturbing in this story. That he explains himself, that he gives his version, it seems normal to me to do it as part of the French team. It’s a question that can be asked. sure that this is the right place. He could have waited or done it just before Clairefontaine. He could have agreed with Didier Deschamps on a time just before. France gave him permission, it didn’t bother Deschamps. If Deschamps told him ok, go ahead, do it…”

“The culprit of all this is Nasser Al-Khelaïfi”
These strong statements from the 25-year-old player did not go over to PSG, who believe that Mbappé “has absolutely no class”.
“He lacked class? Ok, very good… It’s possible, I want to hear that,” observes Riolo. Except that for him, the problem is not there. “I think of people who are supporters of PSG: between an Mbappé who lacks class and an Mbappé in good form against Dortmund, what do we choose? I think everyone would have wanted him to be in good form against Dortmund, and we Didn’t let him be fit.”
“The culprit of all this is Nasser Al-Khelaïfi,” continues Riolo. “Mbappé, once we said that he had no class, what does that change? What does it change about the fact that we lost in the semi-final against a team within our reach? He will have class at Real Madrid, as luck would have it. We are classy with classy people. I don’t think Nasser Al-Khelaïfi is a refined person. , classy. He’s a completely ordinary guy from a moral point of view. There’s no reason for Mbappé to be classy with people who aren’t classy.
