The long-awaited Mbappé fireworks? A wet firecracker

At the Gabriel Pavilion,

In the art of the opposite, Kylian Mbappé has long been a master. New demonstration Sunday evening, on the occasion of the UNFP trophy ceremony, at the end of which he received the title of best player for the third time. An evening quickly fell into the abyss of humor with the embarrassing number of Adil Rami on stage, which tore a huge sigh of fatigue from a colleague on our right, exasperated by a dubious joke on Pamela Anderson, the defender’s ex . An evening where Gigio Donnarumma won the title of best goalkeeper by playing only 17 L1 games. An evening where Bruno Genesio, crowned with the title of best coach, did not have the audacity to insult one or two Lyonnais tweeters in his path to make us laugh.

In short, an evening that only Kylian Mbappé, an uncertain time for the high mass of French football – he even “insisted on coming” – could save by taking all the light. By taking out the violin, the clarinet, the saxophone, and as long as the whole orchestra. By launching into beautiful sentences, into flights of which he has the secret, into punchlines for the titles of the next day. Provided he saves the furniture.

A Mbappé for once (too) modest

But Kyky, he’s not like that. Or rather, it’s more like that. No more washing your dirty laundry in public, bye bye the laundromat of “responsibilities”. For those who don’t have the ref, in May 2019, the world champion took advantage of the players’ union trophy platform to send a message, announcing that he was arriving “at a second turning point in (his) career” and wanted to ” more responsibilities, maybe at Paris SG, maybe elsewhere”. “I made the mistake, three years ago of monopolizing the ceremony,” he admitted, statuette in hand. The striker is now reserved and altruistic, he steps back in favor of the “big football party”, this same party which the world more or less did not care about. He plays the shy when approaching the more or less delicate attempts of the masters of ceremonies on this future which puts the Paris-Madrid axis on the verge of implosion.

– Where will you play next year?

-…

– Is your decision made?

– “Yes, almost. It’s almost over. »

– (More subtle) Cavani’s record, do you think about it?

– “You have to respect what Cavani did. 200 goals at PSG is incredible. Being part of this circle is an honor, so you have to already savor what you have and what you have done. I’m already very happy to be in this top 3.”

Decision before the next gathering of the Blues

After an in-depth investigation on the Spanish Twitter which will surely earn us the Pulitzer, this last sentence really pleased Madrid, who saw it as the obvious sign of a departure from PSG this summer. By pushing the song, we can also see farewells in the serious tone of his thanks to his club, to the players, to the people in the shadows, to the stewards, to the trainee of the coffee machine, in short, to all of Paname. The truth is that we don’t fucking know more or less than the day before.

Rather than knowing whether or not, whether Paris or Madrid, whether blue or white, we got our hands on the man’s political agenda, which looks like something like: ” VSIt will happen quickly, before the next gathering of the France team. “The Blues have a match on June 3 against Denmark at the opening of the League of Nations. As we say in Spain: tick tock, tick tock, tick tock.
