Kylian Mbappé, a silence that leaves a mark

Kylian Mbappé doesn’t seem very interested in the French performance at the Olympic Games and that doesn’t please everyone…

Very discreet since signing with Real Madrid and his official presentation in Spain, Kylian Mbappé broke his silence on social networks this Thursday. It was not to imitate Antoine Griezmann, who is on all fronts at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games and tweets faster than his shadow to salute the results and medals of all the French. But to comment on a team composition of his new team, with the words “Vamos, Hala Madrid”.

It makes perfect sense for the former Paris Saint-Germain striker to show his support for his new team, in order to show that even if he is not participating in the pre-season training camp, he is following what is happening at the Merengues and is eager to start his adventure. What is a little more upsetting to followers of the Blues and French sport in general is the fact that Kylian Mbappé has not shown the slightest support for the Olympic athletes who have been competing for the past few days, nor has he publicly shown the slightest interest in the competition.

Nothing on the French at the 2024 Olympics, but a big up to Real…

On Twitter, his last message dates back to July 22 and concerns a partnership with Accor and All. On his Instagram account, nothing new since posts about his arrival in the Spanish capital. Several Internet users were clearly upset to see that the captain of the French team, a sporting icon of Paris, the city that organizes the Olympic Games, expressed himself even briefly on an anecdotal preparation match of Real Madrid, rather than on an event in which he hoped to participate not so long ago.

The evolution of Kylian Mbappé’s popularity rating in France in the coming months will be interesting to observe. Now that he will no longer be on French pitches every weekend and that he will no longer be the symbol of the local championship, will he manage to maintain his aura with the public and young people, while he had already become a little more divisive in recent years?
