Like many observers of the French team, Daniel Riolo does not really appreciate the attitude displayed by Kylian Mbappé in recent months, and during this Euro 2024. Whether on or off the pitch, he deplores what the new Real Madrid player has become over the last few years. I can’t say if he can get back on track, I don’t know. It’s going to be up to him to decide. I think his body has changed a lot and not for the better compared to when he was very fast. There are no other wing players like him, who can accelerate, strike, curl, open and close his foot, but at the moment, this player no longer exists.analyzed the journalist at the microphone of RMCthis Thursday evening. His chance to get back to 2-2, ten minutes from the end (against Spain), if it’s Kylian Mbappé, it goes under the bar, we all know that. There, it went into the stands. To this day, the Kylian Mbappé that I knew no longer exists, it’s a memory for me. His volley in 2022 (during the World Cup final against Argentina) that stunned us all, this extraordinary player no longer exists. »

Despite his criticism, Riolo believes that his signing for Real could allow him to take a better turn in his career. And avoid falling into the downward spiral. He has the chance to go to Madrid and it is perhaps the right path that will save him, but at 25, the other path is that of Neymar Jr and Marco Verratti, that is to say that you no longer train properly, you no longer have your explosiveness, you are no longer worth much. ” said the columnist.
