The Daily Merengue is a place where you can feel free to discuss all things football. Do not be alarmed by the overt RMCF bias. It’s in the name!
Shoutout to the mods who do a fantastic job, Valyrian Steel, Kung_Fu_Zizou, Juninho, NeRObutBlanco and yours truly, Felipejack.

Leonardo talks about Mbappé
Leonardo has talked about Mbappe.
Leonardo (ex PSG director): "With his behavior in the last years, Mbappé has shown he can NOT lead a team. He's a great player but not a leader. Great goalscorer, but not a creator, it's hard to build a team around him." pic.twitter.com/p4nnShrJcc

Per AS, PSG is already planning next season without Mbappe. Leonardo might be right. Some of us are concerned about Mbappe behaviour in the locker room (and PSG decision to give him special powers definitely did not help), but he won a World Cup with France and helped them to reach another WC final. Mbappe behaviour isn’t the best, but maybe PSG is even a bigger problem.
