Once again unrecognizable, Wednesday, on the Anfield lawn, Kylian Mbappé is “at the bottom of the mine”, according to Daniel Riolo.
Kylian Mbappé was particularly expected. After an overall encouraging performance against Leganes, with his first goal in more than a month, certainly helped by a golden service from Vinicius, the Bondynois intended to confirm against Liverpool. And the French world champion was all the more expected as Real Madrid had to cope without Vinicius, injured in the thigh.
The entire Real Madrid staff gave him sweet words to encourage him. Weary, yet aligned in the left lane, Kylian Mbappé was ghostly, incapable of making the slightest difference. Worse, the former Parisian even missed a penalty which could have allowed the Merengue to equalize on the hour mark. If he did not hesitate to affirm that his team had delivered “a good match”, Carlo Ancelotti had to recognize that his star striker lived “a difficult time”.
But for Daniel Riolo, it’s worse than that. “Beyond the missed penalty, we can see that this guy is in the complete bag, his head upside down, even the way he shoots the peno is horrible, he confided to the microphone of RMC. At the moment, he’s so bad, he exudes unease, he’s not even a football player anymore. On the field, he no longer does anything, he no longer achieves anything, he can no longer even run or move. He’s really at the bottom of the mine. »
“He is in trouble, it has happened to other athletes. We have seen players with bad passes, but with him we have the impression that the curtain is drawn, that there is nothing left”he continued, advising her to talk about it openly:
“His family and those close to him should advise him to do something, to speak or to open up to release what is in his heart and which is blocking him. When I see his run (on the penalty), the way his body moves, he’s a sick guy. He is alone. He would have to explain why he is not well, what is wrong with him. If he drags something out, go ahead and tell it, maybe people will hear something.”
