Maybe the whole world is wrong, and Nicolas Anelka is the only one who is right. Well, maybe Anelka and Mbappe’s family and friends also, because the former PSG, Arsenal, Chelsea, Real and Manchester City striker thinks that Kylian Mbappe and not Lionel Messi is actually player number 1 in Paris.Mbappe caught on camera criticizing NeymarFormer French international, who played for almost every top club in Europe, and twice for PSG, gave an interview for the Le Parisien, where he talked about the current situation in the club, especially about Lionel Messi, but also about coach Mauricio Pochettino. And Anelka’s theory is that in PSG, Kylian Mbappe is ‘the man’, and the best footballer in the world has to serve him.”Mbappe has to lead the attack because he’s No.1. Messi was at Barcelona, but now he has to serve Mbappe. He’s been at the club for five years and Messi has to respect him. He’s a phenomenal player in terms of his speed, there’s no one better on the planet. If Paris want to have the best team, they have to do everything they can to keep him” Anelka told Le Parisien.(2.10) SALZBURG (3.50) LILLE (3.80)On the other hand, the Frenchman immediately recognized that is will be tough to keep Mbappe, mainly due to the strength of Ligue 1.”I think it’s very clear in Kylian’s head. He wants to see something else, and that makes sense. He’s dreaming of the Ballon d’Or, and how can he win it if he’s playing in the sixth best league by UEFA coefficient? If Kylian had been in England or Spain for the last three years, he would have already won the Ballon d’Or” said the Frenchmen.Petty stars out to ruin the Parisian dream: Once like brothers, Neymar and Mbappe are not the best of friends anymoreAnd just in case somebody thinks that Anelka has something against Messi, the Frenchman actually stood with the Argentinian in the latest ‘conflict’ with coach Pochettino, after he substituted Leo against Lyon.”You don’t take off a six-time Ballon d’Or winner in the 65th minute, when he hasn’t scored for his team. That plays with his head a lot. A forward needs his coach to show him confidence, and that right there won’t do it. I’m getting ahead of myself but Messi will not forget what Pochettino has done. It will stay with him. He’s the star of the team and it was his first game at the Parc des Princes. It’s going to be very difficult to recover from that as a situation. Messi didn’t play against Metz, and for me that’s already a response. You can’t manage Messi like that. The coach wanted to send out a strong message, which is good, but this is Messi” explained Anelka.
