Luis Enrique’s Fiery Rant at Kylian Mbappe Revealed: "You’re Not Defending Like Michael Jordan!"
The drama surrounding Kylian Mbappe’s departure from Paris Saint-Germain has taken another twist, with footage emerging of a heated exchange between the French forward and his former coach, Luis Enrique. The clip, shared by Movistar, shows Enrique berating Mbappe during a tactical analysis session last season, just days after PSG’s Champions League defeat to Barcelona.
The video reveals Enrique’s intense frustration with Mbappe’s defensive performance, with the coach pointing his finger in the player’s face and delivering a scathing critique. "I read that you liked Michael Jordan? Michael Jordan was defending like a son of a b****!" Enrique exclaimed, using the NBA legend’s defensive prowess as a benchmark for Mbappe’s lackluster efforts.
The incident is just the latest in a series of public spats between Mbappe and Enrique, who reportedly clashed on several occasions during their time together at PSG. The tension culminated in Mbappe’s acrimonious departure from the club, with the 25-year-old joining Real Madrid on a free transfer at the end of last season.
Despite the animosity, Enrique has since expressed his regret at losing Mbappe, acknowledging that the player’s departure was a significant blow to the team. "What a pity he went to Madrid. Especially for us at the time. But life is also part of the game," Enrique said in a recent interview.
The footage has sparked widespread debate among football fans, with many questioning Mbappe’s commitment to his defensive duties. While Enrique’s tactics and man-management have been criticized, it’s clear that the Spaniard was desperate to get the best out of his star player.
As the drama surrounding Mbappe’s departure continues to unfold, one thing is certain: the French forward’s arrival at Real Madrid has added a new layer of excitement to the La Liga title race. Will Mbappe prove to be the game-changer that Madrid need to reclaim their throne, or will Enrique’s tactics ultimately prove to be the key to PSG’s success?
