Kylian Mbappe Praises Luis Enrique’s PSG Tactics Despite Past Criticisms- “Very Precise Philosophy”

PSG is currently going through an interesting phase. The side has lost some key players and is on the verge of losing Kylian Mbappe on a free later this year. However, despite the changes, the side has kept its feet on the ground and built momentum during the ongoing season. With Luis Enrique taking charge of the club, PSG has looked like a different side this season. Club ace Kylian Mbappe too believes that the Spaniard is doing a great job despite being criticised by the manager on multiple occasions.

Mbappe put on a great showing last year bagging 52 goals to his name. The player has been Ligue 1’s top scorer so far this season, with eighteen goals to his name. However, some of his performances have not pleased Luis Enrique with the manager claiming that he expects a lot more from the Frenchman.

Kylian Mbappe lavishes Luis Enrique’s tactics

The French striker has been enjoying his time playing under the Spaniard. With PSG building their project around the player, the Frenchman has enjoyed being the focal point in the attacking third. Despite some rough outings, Mbappe has been Luis Enrique’s ace this season.

Mbappe, in a sitdown interview with Amazon Prime, stated, “That’s all a process. There have been many new players and a new coach with a very precise philosophy. It has been four to five months, and we are starting to understand what is required of us.”

He then added, “Understand his reflex and understand what he wants through his tactics, through his offensive game. I think we are starting to see the beginnings of something that will perhaps take a little more, but when it is completely good, we will roll.”

Earlier last year, it was reported that Kylian Mbappe was losing his influence inside the PSG dressing room with players disappointed with his selfish approach. The rumors got more fuel after PSG boss Luis Enrique criticized Mbappe following one of their games despite the striker bagging a hat trick in the game.

PSG looking to hold on to Mbappe

PSG will have a lot on their plate this coming summer. The club has failed to sign a contract extension with their star Kylian Mbappe, which will see the player walk out as a free agent from the club come June. This will be a big blow for the side who would love to get a price on their most prized asset.

Multiple big teams across Europe are said to be interested in the player’s signature. With Mbappe now free to negotiate with teams over a pre-season deal, it will be interesting to see if PSG can somehow keep hold of the Frenchman. Where team do you think Mbappe will sign with in June 2024? Let us know in the comments below.
