Unai Emery Backs 'Intelligent' Kylian Mbappe To Respond
Kylian Mbappe will be better for his experience against Dijon, Paris Saint-Germain coach Unai Emery said.
Paris Saint-Germain coach Unai Emery has backed Kylian Mbappe to bounce back when the Ligue 1 giants face Anderlecht in the Champions League.
Mbappe, 18, missed numerous chances in his side's most recent outing, a 2-1 league victory at Dijon on Saturday.
But Emery believes the France international forward will respond if opportunities present themselves again at the Constant Vanden Stock Stadium in Brussels.
"Kylian is a young player and he will learn from experience," he told a news conference on Tuesday.
"It is a good thing for him. Against Dijon, he missed chances but that is part of gaining experience.
"He is intelligent. He adds plenty to the team, not just goals and assists, he also combines well with the others. If he gets similar opportunities here, he can score them."
PSG are top of Group B with two wins from as many matches and having scored eight goals without conceding.
In contrast, their opponents on Wednesday go into the clash having suffered 3-0 losses to Bayern Munich and Celtic.
