“I would like to see Kylian skid. I find it too formatted. I love it, but it’s too clean and it hides something. When I hear him speak, I have the impression of hearing a politician”, explained Patrice Evra this week, at the Parisian. If some PSG supporters shared the opinion of the former French international about the native of Bondy (93), they could have been served in front of PSG-Brest, where Kylian Mbappé had been provoked in particular by Ronaël Pierre-Gabriel and above all Hugo Magnetti, despite a very good match from the Parisian striker.
“How could I have taken a yellow card?! But how did I get a yellow card?! Come on, get out of there! You don’t even know how to referee here! You don’t even know how to referee!, he notably launched to the substitute referee Marc Bollengier. “Always the same in this league! If it’s still the same! You’re next door, you can’t see!”, concluded the Parisian in remarks picked up by the microphones close to the sidelines of Canal +.

In this type of situation, there may be comments from the two players… I was surprised at the reaction of the player Mbappé».
