Kylian Mbappé, who took part in his first training session at Real Madrid on Wednesday, is entering a new dimension.
Kylian Mbappé’s Madrid adventure has finally begun. Although he was officially presented on July 16 at the Santiago Bernabeu, the French striker returned from vacation and took part in his first training session with his new Real Madrid teammates on Wednesday. The opportunity for the ex-Parisian to meet up with Ferland Mendy, Aurélien Tchouameni and Eduardo Camavinga, his teammates in the French team during Euro 2024, and to discover his new environment.
Unlike what he experienced at PSG, where he had certain advantages, the 2018 world champion will gradually realize that here, the institution is above everything and everyone. He has already noticed this when he saw Florentino Pérez, the president of the White House, break his “childhood dream” by opposing his participation in the Paris 2024 Olympic Games with the Bleuets. A hard blow that the former Bondy prodigy (25 years old) had to accept, according to Robert Pirès.
Robert Pirès warns Kylian Mbappé
“I know he wanted to do the Olympics because it’s a dream for many people, especially because it’s in France, in Paris, in his city…explains the former French international, world champion in 1998, in an interview given to the Spanish daily Marca. He knows the people here well, but I think that in the end, Real Madrid is in charge. The one in charge is Florentino Perez. I think we have to respect the president’s word.”
According to him, this radical choice by the Merengue boss marks a big change in the career of the captain of the Blues. “This means that, now, Mbappé is more important for Real Madrid than for the French team and the Olympic Gameshe believes. I would have liked to see him play with Thierry Henry as coach. But, as always, you have to respect the club’s word.” For the former Villarreal midfielder, “Kyky” made the right decision in finally signing for Real.
“We all know that this is the biggest club in the world, a club that knows what it is to win titles, whether in La Liga or the Champions League.says Robert Pirès. More and more great players are going to play there. For Kylian, it’s a great opportunity to reach another level. He played for Monaco, PSG and the French team, but Real is a higher level. I hope everything goes very well and he wins many titles.”
