There is video of PSG manager Luis Enrique yelling at Kylian Mbappe during a tactical briefing last season. The Spaniard made fun of the forward’s admiration for NBA great Michael Jordan.

When Enrique arrived at the Parc des Princes in July 2023, he was put in charge of leading Les Parisiens through a time of change. Enrique had previously been in charge of Barcelona and Spain.
Lionel Messi and Neymar had both left the club, going to Inter Miami and Al Hilal, respectively. The club was also rocked by long-running claims of abuse and discrimination against Christophe Galtier, who was leaving as coach.
In the end, Mbappe would leave PSG with the other superstars, and it’s safe to say that the exit was bad for everyone.
Reports said Mbappe and Neymar had a rough relationship during their last season in Ligue 1, and a clip from a new Movistar program shows them having a bad time together.
“I saw that you liked Michael Jordan.” You can see Enrique telling Mbappe this before their Champions League quarterfinal match against Barcelona.
“Michael Jordan would grab his teammates by the balls and defend like. ” Before you can be a good player, you need to be a good person.
“You’ll have [Pau] Cubarsi if you press.” You will be the one to protect Cubarsi from Marc-Andre ter Stegen and Cubaris.
“And you’ll press Cubarsi the whole game to stop him from moving forward and press Ter Stegen the whole game to make him play quickly and get back quickly.”
“Why?” To take charge. Because you believe you need to score goals for us.
Even though things were tense, Enrique praised the 25-year-old’s skills and told him he needed to put in more effort for his teammates.
‘You’re a marvel, a world-class player,’ he said. Without a doubt.
“But that’s not enough for me.” You’re a real leader when you help us with everything, even when you can’t help us with goals (like when you had two top players against you the other day).
Enrique also said Mbappe had to do everything he could to make sure he left the club without any regrets.
“Do that,” I tell you. As a boss here. The last two games you have. Please leave through the big door. Without having any regrets.
“But you need to win.” Not a. You very well. You a lot. That’s true.
“However, you need to be the best defender of all time when you can’t.” That person is a leader. Yes, that is Michael Jordan.
Mbappe scored twice to secure a 4-1 win over the Catalan club, but Borussia Dortmund eliminated them in the semi-finals. It’s clear that Enrique’s words of support stuck with him.
