@metaenforcer@LAURENTMICHEL0N@JohnCena Same logic, flipped: if China's that bad, drop the Chinese sponsors and stop selling them broadcast rights. They won't. Spare me the "principles."
@metaenforcer@LAURENTMICHEL0N@JohnCena This was never about Mao. He cashed Chinese checks and didn't bother to learn the red lines. Never joked about Qatar while PSG paid him, though. Respect is reciprocal.
@marca If you look down on a country, then don’t take its money. Don’t mock it while cashing in, and cry like a victim when it refuses to be treated that way. Mbappé is not a victim. He’s just a petty hypocrite.
#Mbappé acts like he's entitled to special treatment, but he's really just a spoiled troublemaker.
He signs big deals in #China without grasping its political and cultural sensitivities, dragging #LaLiga into the mess.
On the pitch, he leaves the defending to his teammates.
@TouchlineX Next time laugh at the Next time, try laughing at Qatar, the ones who own PSG, whose World Cup build-up cost thousands of migrant workers their lives. Go on, they’re not like China, I’m sure they’ll take the joke really well.
@MadridXtra@marca Actually, his most popular dictator meme isn’t Chinese, it’s the Mobutu one Dembélé mentioned in that interview. But obviously he doesn’t want to offend African fans; he desperately needs those Ballon d’Or votes.
They make a god of a 19-year-old, then demand godlike self-control. He’s measured against an idealized version of himself.
Win, and the bar rises. Lose, and he’s branded lazy, arrogant or distracted—even as coaches praise his work.
Every match becomes a verdict on his character.
Barça have lost back-to-back games to PSG and Real Madrid. And if the Ballon d’Or rumors are right, Lamine Yamal may be taking home the Kopa Trophy rather than the big one tonight.
That’s a tough week for a 19-year-old.
I can tolerate people criticising Lamine's mistakes on the pitch. But it pisses me off that you lot become so fucking nasty every time he has a bad day and you talk about him not being focused on football. Then next week he will perform and you will say he is focused. Just be fucking normal.
sounds like praise at first, but he’s been denied the role he’s wanted since he was a kid and never been allowed to develop in the position he wants to play, all bc he can defend.
he’s been branded as the guy who has to run all over the pitch and cover for everyone else.
