PSG need another Mbappe masterclass - but can his ailing body provide one?
Oct 19, 2021
The French striker’s uncertain fitness level is a microcosm of the current state of his club, which may quickly evolve from a disaster to a victory
It seems that everything about life on Paris Saint-Germain can be experienced with a knife.
From the club’s fragile position in the League 1 championship battle, to the leading Lille trailing one point in three games, to their intention to reverse 2-1 in the Champions League semi-final against Manchester City, they are too close. Can't be comfortable.
Therefore, the contract between Neymar and Kylian Mbappé will only raise further question marks in the last month of the season.
One of the biggest vacancies is Mbappe. Due to Real Madrid's interest, Mbappe's future is still in a balanced state, and his physical condition was questioned before his trip to Manchester on Tuesday.
On Monday, the image of the forerunner walking forward into the airport was obviously a little livid, which did not alleviate this concern.
Mauricio Pochettino said when his team arrived in England: "Today, he will start a separate training session to see if he can join the team."
"Yes, I am worried for him. One day, we will see and decide if he is free."
World Cup champion Mbappe tends to save himself in a big European away game. After a hat-trick against Barcelona, in consecutive knockout matches against defending champion Bayern Munich, he won two victories, putting him at the forefront of the Ballon d'Or competition.
However, Manchester City successfully closed Mbappé's home near his Prince's Park last week.
His influence was limited to an exhilarating breakthrough early in the second half. He saw him pull a cross 6-0 along the reach of Marco Verratti to set the score as 2-0.
Otherwise, despite being ninth in PSG night, the 22-year-old didn't even make a move.
If the nature of the bankruptcy in the second half of the year causes Pochettino's management of the team to be scrutinized, so will Mbappe's lack of distinctive final product.
This was only magnified on Saturday, because it was clear that Mbappe would miss the banana skin match with Lens due to a calf injury.
However, the root of this problem is not the Manchester City game, but the final stage of the League 1 final against Metz last weekend.
"I think we handled him perfectly," Pochettino said of Mbappe's opposition during the full 90 minutes of the game on Metz.
"We said we were against Metz. He barely touched the ground while running. He was about to fly because he was in good health.
"In the previous race, in the French Coupe vs. Angers, he took a break. Before that, he played games.
"At the end of the game with Metz, he was injured. It might happen in the first minute. It can happen anytime, anywhere."
Nevertheless, despite suffering from Covid-19 at the beginning of the campaign, the number of minutes Mbappe expects to play this season is surprising.
Since September 20, Mbappe has played a total of 37.5 games and played a total of 43 games, even though he complained of fatigue in the fall.
He told the club’s official website: “For me, it feels like I participated in the 60th game of the season, not the 9th.” “We had a marathon.
"In general, when you enter the UEFA Champions League final, you have a holiday, but we have entered the final and we have no time to rest."
His stats may not be affected-he has scored 37 goals and contributed 10 assists-but his performance is not the usual explosiveness that fans around the world are accustomed to seeing from the dazzling light of the game Variety.
However, Mbappe has managed to get his attention on the big occasions of this season, because Barca and Bayern have discovered the price
And the fixtures are hardly bigger than the Etihad Stadium game on Tuesday.
PSG will have to chase the game and find a way to impose on being elected to the Premier League champion for 90 minutes, just like they did in the first half of the French capital.
This will require impeccable performance from start to finish. Although this is not an impossible task considering the tools PSG can use, they definitely need Mbappe to use its best talents.
