Emmanuel Petit has sent a warning to Kylian Mbappe in order to prevent him from becoming too much like Neymar.
The French forward and the Brazilian have been teammates at Paris Saint-Germain since their respective arrivals in 2017, but Petit isn't impressed by the behaviour of either.
"He tends to p*** me off a bit more," Petit said when asked about Mbappe's attitude on the pitch.
"He can be annoying with his teammates and he has to be careful.
"Sometimes he's like Neymar and it may backfire on him."
In terms of Mbappe's talent, though, the former Barcelona midfielder had nothing but praise.
"He's progressed a lot in three years," Petit added.
"He came with incredible potential, he was an unpolished diamond.
"He's shown that he's progressed with his statistics, but he's also shown great maturity in a number of ways."

When Mbappe cane to Psg he was a quite polite young man. Now he acts like a spoiled brat. Wonder what happened him?

Neymar and Pogba are both bad influences on their younger teammates.

In behaviors Neymar and Mbappe are the same they always have crazy reactions when substituted but in diving Neymar is far better than Mbappe. So mbappe will never level Neymar in diving(falling down without being beaten just faking free kicks and penalties).
