PSG manager Tuchel lauds “unique” Mbappe after strong start

in , , , , , , ,

PSG manager Thomas Tuchel has hailed the talents of the “unique” Kylian Mbappe. 

The 19-year-old French forward has already enjoyed an immensely successful start to his career, winning two French Ligue 1 titles – one with Monaco and one with PSG – as well as the 2018 FIFA World Cup, in which he starred.

This is all in addition to a number of individual titles he has clinched and, ahead of PSG’s trip to Nimes, manager Tuchel has been quick to praise Mbappe, who has scored three goals in two Ligue 1 games already this season.

He told a press conference (via Goal): “Kylian is unbelievably talented and he is a very positive person too.

“I’ve known him for some weeks now and I can say that he is very hungry to score goals and to win games. Even in training, he is very competitive and he has that special skill to give the other players a positive mindset and to get them to improve their game.

“It’s not easy to describe, but that’s how it is. These are the things that make him unique. And it’s just great that he is playing for our team.”

Tuchel also believes that Mbappe’s outgoing nature, coupled with his role in France’s World Cup win, makes him a very popular figure not just among PSG fans, but at stadiums across the country.

The 45-year-old German added: “The guy is here every day with a smile on his face. And he is a very important part of our team.

“You can feel that the people welcome him in every stadium here in France. We’ll see if that’s the same in Nimes. But he is just an extroverted person.”

PSG’s trip to newly-promoted Nimes represents a chance for PSG to make it four wins from four in the new Ligue 1 campaign, with the club chasing a sixth domestic crown in seven years.
