Paris Saint-Germain midfielder, Marco Verratti, has said that it pleases him when teammate, Kylian Mbappe is angry.
Verratti said this while defending Mbappe's attitude during PSG's 5-2 win over Montpellier in a French Ligue 1 tie last weekend.
Mbappe was seen displeased with the ball not being passed to him during PSG's clash with Montpellier.
The France international even attempted to take over a penalty from Neymar Jr., which was won by Lionel Messi.
Despite talks about Mbappe's behaviour being unhealthy for the PSG squad floating around, his teammate Verratti has defended his actions.
Verratti said via Le Parisien,
"Kylian is a player who always wants to do well. I think that with the missed penalty, he was sulking a little bit, but that's normal, he's a great player, he always wants to make the difference and when he misses something, he's disappointed, that is normal."
"But then he showed it with the first goal where he was decisive and then with another goal (which he scored, editor's note). But it pleases me when he's angry because it means he cares a lot about this team, that he wants to do well, that he wants to make a difference."
