Not very dangerous offensively, Kylian Mbappé is mainly guilty of the goal conceded by Real Madrid in Mallorca (1-1). An isolated camera on the Bondynois shows it well.
The return to earth is brutal. A scorer for his debut with Real Madrid in the European Super Cup, Kylian Mbappé was in much more difficulty for his first steps in La Liga, Sunday evening, on the pitch in Mallorca (1-1).
The Bondy player struggled to shine offensively, showing himself to be rather messy on the technical side. And to make matters worse, he is guilty on the defensive side. Unlike what was happening at PSG, Mbappé is supposed to come back to defend on the opponent’s set pieces, notably leaving Vinicius in an advanced position for the counterattack. The Madrid number 9 was supposed to take care of the great Vedat Muriqi. And on an isolated camera focused on Mbappé, we see him very quickly let go of his marking on the goal of the Majorcan striker, an excellent header player.
Criticism will rain down on Mbappé
Mbappé will have to get used to it. With his fame, and the fact that he is joining a club so powerful that he is as much adored by millions of fans as he is hated by a significant number, the Bondy player will be sometimes praised, sometimes denigrated, depending on his performances. He will be criticized for an undistributed pass, like on this action in the 6th minute where he could have served Vinicius in depth, but where he preferred to go it alone.
