On matchday 8 of Ligue 1, Paris Saint-Germain take on Rennes. Ahead of that match, the Frecnh side will be hoping to be at their best so as not to fall too far behind leaders Monaco, who are 17 points clear on five points.
Spanish coach Luis Enrique spoke at a pre-match press conference ahead of Sunday's game and spoke about Kylian Mbappe. He was astonished that reporters went from accusing him of being dependent on the striker to pointing the finger at him for not scoring in consecutive games.
"I remember two or three weeks ago in this very from, I was asked if we were dependent on Mbappe because he’d scored seven or eight goals. Now, you’re asking me what Kylian has to do because he hasn’t scored in these past matches," he told reporters.
"One has to be a bit more normal. He is at 100%. Players are in different states throughout the season. He’s neither Superman when he scores eight goals, nor is he is normal player when he doesn’t score.
"It’s not black and white, there are always nuances. Kylian is a vital and determined player for us. He is a decisive player. My objective as his manager is to highlight his strengths and to hide his weaknesses," he concluded.
