After the Clasico against Barcelona and the match against AC Milan,
Kylian Mbappé had another very delicate evening in a prestigious meeting, Wednesday, at Anfield, against Liverpool (0-2). The captain of the France team missed a penalty which could have given his team the equalizer, but he also made a series of approximations in the game.
It didn’t take much longer to see the Spanish press unleashed on the former Parisian. Criticized from all sides, the French striker is undoubtedly going through the most delicate period of his career. But he can count on the support of the former glories of Real Madrid.
Mbappé can count on the support of the big names of Real
Although the White House is renowned for its bustling environment, Gareth Bale and Guti, two former Real big names, rushed to Kylian Mbappé’s aid. “Mbappé is the best player in the world and it’s only a matter of time before he proves it,” Gareth Bale told TNT Sports. He and Salah missed penalties but as Liverpool won, we will only talk about Mbappé’s. A lot of things aren’t working right now. Real Madrid are going through a complicated period, but we know that they always find a way to overcome it. »
“ I think it’s a lack of confidence, and you add that the people of Madrid were waiting for him with great impatience, hoping for the best from him, Guti remarked for his part. He came out of his PSG bubble a little, where he had everything under control. He arrives in another team where he must compete with great players to be the best. Everything weighs, and the Real Madrid jersey weighs. It’s normal, it’s difficult to connect so quickly and so early to a club like Real Madrid, where it’s very difficult to play. We have to protect him and that’s what the club does best. Florentino (Perez, president), the board and (coach Carlo) Ancelotti will protect him because we all believe in him, I still believe in him. It’s easy to criticize and say ‘he’s not worth it’, but I think he’s one of the best players in the world. » Words which will certainly not leave Kylian Mbappé indifferent and will allow him, perhaps, to see the end of the tunnel.
