kylian mbappe broke the scoring record in the psg last weekend in the match against Nantes. The young Bondy star scored her 201st goal in the Parisian team’s jersey, beating cavaniwho until then had the maximum number of goals scored with 200. But the French striker did it with the captain’s armband, since shortly before Marquinho he had withdrawn from the field of play and had given it to him.
Some time ago there was already some controversy with this situation at PSG. It should be remembered that the Frenchman already wore the PSG bracelet after the répoker he scored in the round of 16 of the French Cup against the Pays de Cassel. For most it was not strange that the main star of the team, a Parisian and absolute international, was captain in a match with the absences of Kimpembe, Marquinhos and a team full of recent signings. Kimpembe at that moment raised his voice and the French international did not understand the decision and he made it known on his social networks: “I have not been informed of this decision, that is completely false… Even so, I will always respect the decisions of the club.”
A controversy that ended when PSG explained that there is a shortlist of players who can act as second captain, taking turns between them as the coach deems appropriate, although at that time the statements of DT Galtier They weren’t exactly those: “He stayed at PSG and he deserves to have this bracelet in the absence of Marquinhos“.
Youri Djorkaeff believes it would ‘take away his freedom’
now is the international Youri Djorkaeff the one that has pronounced on this situation, since in the PSG it would not be seen in a negative way that Mbappé could assume it permanently. The former PSG striker spoke to Téléfoot about this possibility, but he feels the responsibilities of a captaincy could hinder the 24-year-old. “I think that the interesting thing about Mbappé is that he is free“Djorkaeff told the French media. “Free to express themselves, free to support their team. He bracelet is another responsibility; maybe I’ll lose some of that freedom“.
I also highlight that despite playing with Lionel Messi and Neymar Jr.., it is the Frenchman who has stood out and has taken the lead of the group. “He managed to impose his paw while there are big stars at PSG,” Djorkaeff continued. “But he has made more than a nice place. He left this trio and sometimes he is the one in charge. I think that’s what great success is.”
