Footage emerges of Kylian Mbappe given extraordinary pep talk by Luis Enrique as PSG boss makes Michael Jordan comparison

Mbappe had been a superstar at Paris Saint-Germain long before head coach Luis Enrique gave him a one-on-one dressing down about his pressing and leadership role in the team months before he left for Real Madrid. The Spaniard referenced Michael Jordan in a mesmerising speech and urged Mbappe to work harder for his team around him and use his talents more effectively.

In the Movistar documentary, Luis Enrique said: "I read that you liked Michael Jordan. Michael Jordan would grab his team-mates by the balls and defend like a madman. You have to set that example first as a person and as a player. You're a phenomenon, a world-class player. Not a doubt. But that's not enough for me. A true leader is someone who, when you can't help us with goals, because the other day you had two high-level players against you, you help us in everything that matters. That's what I want you to do. As a leader here. The two games you have left. I want you to leave through the big door. Without any regrets."

No one doubts the ability Mbappe possesses, but he has been criticised in the past for his less-than-satisfactory defensive work. The World Cup winner comes alive in the final third but is often seen jogging or walking back when his side does not have the ball, something Luis Enrique was trying to stamp out of him. At Real Madrid, it is a similar story but he has rewarded Los Blancos with plenty of goals so far.

The world has moved on since Mbappe left PSG and the superstar is currently nursing an injury. He has been left out of France's latest squad and will use the international break to recover.
