Kylian Mbappé has become the name of the recent transfer market. His frustrated signing for Real Madrid went around the world. The white club came to offer 200 million to PSG to make their services, which would have made them the second most expensive signing in the history of world football. However, some voices are critical of the level and progression that Mbappé has had in recent years. The last to demonstrate against the French striker was the legendary Tony Cascarino. The former Irish international believes that the PSG player only shows isolated glimpses of his quality.
“If you look at the player he was in 2018, when he won the World Cup, you are talking about someone electric and devastating. At that time he was undoubtedly the best in the world. Considering this, I assume that I am disappointed with his performance at Euro 2020. It does not have the same impact on the game of the French team today, “began the now commentator on British radio Talksport.
Cascarino considers that Mbappé has become a footballer without continuity in his game. “Today there are times when we can see 'flashes', a reminder of how good it can be. However, it doesn't do it as often as it should. He's only 22, but he needs to get back to that level. Mbappé has taken a step back in the last three years. “
Cascarino is not the first ex-footballer to criticize Mbappé. Months ago, Jérome Rothen already criticized the attitude shown by the PSG forward during the European Championship: “I think Didier Deschamps can no longer handle it and it is problematic. It's even amazing that I let Kylian Mbappé do so many things and spread out. His ego is inordinate. It has been troublesome since the start of the Euro. We expect much more from Kylian Mbappé ”.
