Discreet against OL on Sunday despite his decisive pass at the end of the match, Kylian Mbappé must integrate into the offensive sector as explained by Mauricio Pochettino.

For the first time, against Lyon on Sunday, Mauricio Pochettino has aligned his offensive quartet composed of Lionel messi, Angel Di Maria, Neymar and Kylian Mbappé. And although he appears to be the fittest of the four since the start of the season, the France international has been very little in sight. The former Monegasque has indeed touched few balls and although he distinguished himself with an assist for Mauro icardi at the very end of the match, Kylian Mbappé seemed more behind. I have to say that Lionel messi has already played with Neymar, to FC Barcelona, and with Angel Di Maria, in Argentinian selection. Therefore, connections exist between the other three. And as underlined Mauricio Pochettino, it is now at Mbappé to find its place.

“You have to integrate Kylian and it will take a little time”

” I like the question because it allows us to develop and talk about football. We have to make those connections in training over time, not just in matches. We played 4-2-3-1 against Lyon, which is not the same as what we did before and that’s why I was happy with the team’s performance. We were also well organized in defense and we recovered the high ball. Leo (Messi), Neymar, and (Angel) Di Maria know each other well, there are affinities already created. And now we have to integrate Kylian (Mbappé) and it will take a little time », Launches the coach of PSG in front of the media.
