He knew everything at Real Madrid, where he was an emblematic player, before becoming a respected coach and then an influential manager: Jorge Valdano knows the White House better than anyone.
The former Argentinian international is therefore well placed to discuss the latest news from the Spanish club. While Xabi Alonso gradually imposes his ideas, this start of the season is marked by
the exceptional performance of Kylian Mbappé.
Kylian Mbappé shines with Real Madrid.
A compulsive scorer (14 goals in 11 matches in all competitions), the captain of the Blues drives the numbers crazy, but his statistical record is largely enhanced by his consistency in the game, with lightning accelerations which are his signature. For Jorge Valdano, the former Parisian is quite simply the world number 1.
Valdano sees Mbappé as “a complete player”
“For me, he is the best player in the world right now, launched the Argentinian. The most complete player, because he is in his maturity phase. While waiting for Lamine (Yamal) to spend a few more years at the level he is already showing today.”
Words which should not leave Kylian Mbappé indifferent. Passionate about football, the French international striker is certainly aware of the mark left by Jorge Valdano at Real Madrid.
