“We must save the player Mbappé“. The Team puts it on the front page of its daily edition and it’s the same thing with our Spanish colleagues. The problem surrounding French is becoming a global phenomenon. No one can find the explanation for his poor form. His performances have certainly been declining for several months but until recent weeks, he managed to keep up appearances by scoring. Even that, he can no longer do it (9 in 18 matches in all competitions but only one in the last month).
His poor performance in Liverpool on Wednesday at least made it possible to sound the alarm. Even without Vinicius Junior at his side, and despite his positioning on the left side of the attack, the former Parisian cannot do it. He seems physically overwhelmed, lacks imagination and takes few risks with the ball. Wouldn’t the evil be deeper, ask most observers, starting with Carlo Ancelotti? “Kylian is an exceptional player” but he knows “a difficult time” affirmed the Italian at a press conference.
Mbappé in poor shape, like his teammates
It certainly takes time to adapt, except that Mbappé lines up matches that are always more complicated than each other. And then Real doesn’t continue either. He plays in a team that does not rotate. Then, because in this same team, the midfielder is not up to standard. Mbappé needs partners who prepare his actions, like Neymar or Verratti did in Paris, or Griezmann in the French teamnoticed a technician who had Mbappé under his orders in the columns of The Team. “Modric no longer has the same legs. Tchouaméni and Camavinga are not smugglers. Bellingham? I’m not convinced. It’s not Neymar anyway. »»
In these conditions, and when he seems to be at his worst psychologically, how can we rectify the situation? Absent from the last two international breaks, Kylian Mbappé should be physically fresh even if the physical state of the Real Madrid players inevitably raises questions, as they suffer one injury after another. His extra-sporting setbacks with the alleged rape case in Stockholm in which his name is cited by the Swedish media do not help either. Until he speaks up, the public won’t know what’s going on. In the meantime, Real Madrid continues to support him, but until when?
