Kylian Mbappe has been getting a lot of bad press lately because he missed the French national team’s camp and was criticized for it.

This made Mbappe respond by going to Instagram and posting a story from his workout with the words “back to work.” This quiet answer seemed to directly address the criticism that was already being made without starting a new argument.

He then wrote another post, this time while watching France play on TV. The message was clear: he is still loyal to the national team, despite the rumors.

Mbappe’s simple use of social media made his position clear without adding to the drama. He wanted to keep the focus on football and ignore the noise going on around him.
