The New Kylian Mbappé has arrived! After a complicated first few months for Real Madrid, despite still impressive statistics (44 goals and 5 assists in 59 matches in all competitions) and individual titles like that of Pichichi in La Liga, the Blues striker seems to have found his fulfillment in Spain. The start of a new cycle with a change of coach, a place as attack leader and a completed adaptation… the star revealed the underside of his return to form.
“There is a new season, we were able to rest, have a vacation, I was able to prepare wellhe begins a press conference with the France team on the eve of facing Azerbaijan at the Parc des Princes (8:45 p.m.). I attacked the season well. It's a bit premature, it's only the beginning. I put in all the ingredients to get it off to a good start. We are starting to understand what the coach expects of us. Here in the selection, we were serious in the first two matches. I am in good spirits but I am working to do better.»
“I have adapted well to Madrid, I am a little calmer there»
The transition to the new season has done him a lot of good. He was able to turn the page on a complicated first year for an entire club. Since the restart, he has already struck 14 times, including 5 in the Champions League alone, in just 10 matches with his club. On the pitch with Real Madrid, he is better connected to his teammates, Arda Güler behind him in particular, or even Vinicius on the left side. “I have great freedom on the attacking front. I am more axial. It allows me to broaden my range of players and to be more complete, to have more than one string to my bow.»
The change of country also had an impact. He recognizes it. His daily life is less intense in Spain than in France. “I have adapted well to Madrid, I am a little calmer there. This is not an attack on France. The living environment is different, it's less fast than in Parishe assures, his voice calm. It's part of the evolution of a man and a player. I managed to get my head and legs right side up“. A sincere statement about his private life and quite rare on his part, he whose pressure has been sliding off his shoulders since the start of his career. Almost all the pressure.
