Irlès talks about his difficulties in managing Mbappé in Monaco “he had deficiencies”
Bruno Irles, coach of Troyes and former trainer of Kylian Mbappe, 23-year-old striker from Paris Saint-Germain, at AS Monaco, mentioned in The Team, the difficulties he may have had with the number 7 of PSG. He recalls that he was a trainer and that his goal was to make the youngster grow up Bondy and not roll out the red carpet for him. He talks about deficiencies and the fact that Mbappe was not appreciated its operation. We learn that the defensive efforts were not made and that this was the origin of the tensions.
Irles” Indeed, defensive efforts were not made.
“As a trainer, we give the keys to players to go to the professional world and the high level. I didn’t care about winning games. For me, he had shortcomings, I had to point them out. Indeed, defensive efforts were not made. But it shouldn’t be reduced to that. The objective is to bring young people to a roughly median playing time, all have gone through this way of working. It went less well with him, as with others. It was part of his training, that’s the main thing. Even in his comics (My name is Kylian), he encountered “defend, defend”. It marked him, it’s good “
We knew that Mbappe had a big ego Irles I confirm. Mbappe did not defend enough, as a good trainer Irles did not stop at the talent of the youngster of Bondy, he wanted to make it progress by not caressing it in the direction of the hair and proving its deficiencies. His objective was to improve his players and it is quite normal that he relies on the axes of progression. Players don’t like being criticized Mbappe knows that he is very strong so it is all the more difficult with him. But time has proven thatIrles was right, the defensive game is a deficiency of the game of Mbappe, we can still see it today at PSG.
The number 7 of PSG seems to have understood all the same, he accepts criticism more easily today and knows that it is part of the game and makes progress. He, who wants to become the ultimate footballer, has every interest in listening to what is said to him in order to improve. But it’s easier at 23 than at 17 when everything was easier for him. Irles a reason to highlight the role of trainer, without it, Mbappe would not have heard these criticisms and would have been “protected” by his talent by possibly progressing more slowly.
