👻 Stirring things up again? France team-mate warns Mbappé! | OneFootball

Despite an outstanding 49 goal contributions in 44 competitive matches across all competitions, Kylian Mbappé has had a complicated season behind him. Real Madrid went without a title for the second year in a row and caused plenty of off-field distractions.

Mbappé repeatedly found himself at the center of these incidents as well. The 27-year-old was accused of egocentric behavior, but above all of a lack of work off the ball. And anyone who watched the Champions League quarterfinal matches against Bayern Munich knows: not entirely without reason.

The superstar is unlikely to be able to afford such an attitude in the ranks of the French national team. Not least because of Ousmane Dembélé.

The Ballon d'Or winner and two-time Champions League winner is even said to have taken his famous teammate to task over the issue. At least that is what the usually very well-connected L’Équipe journalist Loïc Tanzi reports.

Interesting: just a few years ago, Dembélé himself was not exactly known as a workhorse off the ball. But under Luis Enrique, the superstar turned into the first line of pressure in Paris’ incredibly intense pressing game.

He is now demanding similar energy from Mbappé as well — presumably with some allowances.
