What if Mbappé was the biggest flop of this Euro 2024? It is a label that would perhaps be deserved, as he was expected to be the big star of this competition, and as he disappointed with the tricolor jersey. Expectations that were enormous and which ultimately saw how the player, a little handicapped by his nose injury and not helped by the play of his team it is true, did not achieve much on the German lawns.
Of course, Madrid expected better before seeing him arrive in style, whether from the fans, the media or even the club. His presentation on Tuesday will be galactic, in front of a Bernabéu filled to the brim for the occasion, but the Madrid leaders were a little put off by this Euro and they have prepared a plan to try to get him back to his level as indicated AS.
Pintus, the key man
The level displayed by the player and his nose injury are thus at the center of concerns. The Madrilenians also know that these last few months have been difficult on a mental level, following his conflict with the management of Paris Saint-Germain. A physical plan awaits him in Madrid for after his holidays, with Antonio Pintus at the helm.
The capital club’s physical trainer, whose work is recognized by all in the football world, is the man who will be responsible for getting the Bondy player back on his feet. He will have to draw up a physical work plan for him to allow him to find his best level physically. The Madrilenians want him to be at an optimal level of fitness from August 14 and this duel against Atalanta. Suffice to say that Mbappé will have a very exhausting summer preparation.
