It’s a very special Sunday in Poissy. The media have just relayed it: Kylian Mbappé has been reinstated in the professional group of Luis Enrique. Great news, the outcome of a soap opera as painful as it is incomprehensible for the fans. At the exit of the Poissy campus, around thirty fans hoped to see him disembark to enjoy a walkabout as he has often done lately. This time, Mbappé will not go through this. And surprise, it is Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, who stops to greet the faithful.

The president of Paris Saint-Germain, informed that journalists were present, emerged beaming from his black van to distribute autographs and photos to the galvanized fans. “Nasser, you are the best president! “, they chanted, happy that he had” given his place back to Mbappé “, according to the formula of one of them.
The president will not say a word. Only a few laughing smiles granted to the jokers who drop: “It was about time”, or invitations to the Parc des Princes to a few lucky ones. The timing of its release is obviously not left to chance. This Sunday, after having officially reinstated Mbappé, it was a question of giving a serene and optimistic image of the club. This soap opera is his fight. It will be his victory if Mbappé agrees to extend as he now seems inclined to do.
“Mbappé and PSG, it’s like a part of 421”
His reinstatement is an unexpected turnaround for the supporters present. “Between Mbappé and PSG, it’s like at 421, image one of them. You roll the dice, and in one move, everything can change! But the announcement, as surprising as it is, has fans ecstatic. A good third of those present this Sunday proudly wore the tunic of the club’s top scorer. Some have been making the trip every day for a few weeks, hoping to meet him.

“Today, I think he will come, he has to,” says 12-year-old Samba. He and his buddies came armed with photographs taken with the players in their left hands and a marker in their right. At the slightest engine noise, they rush to the stop sign, at the end of the railing, where their idols are supposed to stop.
“He was sorely lacking against Lorient”
Others are more traditional, and are content with the place reserved for them. Well settled in a camping chair, a woman from Dubai takes advantage of her holidays in France to try to offer her two sons a few privileged seconds with Mbappé. Saturday, they were all three at the Park for the match against Lorient (0-0). “We saw that he was sorely lacking, she remarks. It’s normal that he came back, when you have the best player in the world in your team, you can’t get rid of him like that. »
The cars go by and only Danilo will stop. No Mbappe. It does not matter, because the prospect of a return of the attacker against Toulouse on Saturday is more and more palpable. Perhaps even associated with Dembele. “The fire attack! exclaims a fan. The two on the sides, they know each other well, it can hurt. The new season has only just begun.
