Pochettino said he did not hear any taunts directed at his star during the match against Strasbourg on Saturday.
What Pochettino said about Kylian Mbappe
Mauricio Pochettino proclaimed that he is very happy with Kylian Mbappe after a 4-2 win over Strasbourg on Saturday, in which PSG fans whistled at the striker amid transfer speculation. Kylian Mbappe, who was consistently linked to Real Madrid, scored the goal as rookie Lionel Messi watched from the stands. His boss praised him for focusing on the task at hand and said he hadn’t heard a single jeep at the Parc des Princes.
Mauricio Pochettino said he did not hear the whistles. Mauricio is very pleased with him. Mbappe focused on what he needed to do and had a very good game. He must keep going down this path. According to Mauricio Pochettino, it is very important for them to have supporters around them. It’s unusual and we missed it a lot. Football is very different with the audience. With a rookie presentation, it was a great evening for Paris Saint-Germain. Now they have to cook them gradually without taking too many risks, whether it be Lionel Messi or the rest.
A little about the topic
Earlier this summer, ahead of the signing of Lionel Messi, Real Madrid would slash their payroll bill to position itself for either Kylian Mbappe’s late move ahead of the deadline or approaching in 2022. Since then, Los Blancos have deleted Raphael Varane from their books and could, among other moves, sell Martin Odegaard to Arsenal. However, the addition of Lionel Messi to Paris Saint-Germain could have convinced Kylian Mbappe to postpone his exit from Ligue 1. At least that is what the hierarchy in the Parc de Princes demanded, and President Nasser Al-Khelaifi said there was no excuse for leaving this window with Lionel Messi, now in the fold, to boost his Champions League ambitions.
