Kylian Mbappé could have a smile after his recital against Olympiakos. While he remained in three matches with Real Madrid without scoring, the former Monegasque indeed scored a quadruple, even scoring the first three goals in less than seven minutes.
Thanks to the four goals scored by the Bondynois, Real Madrid also returned to victory (4-3). Because the little shortage of the French world champion had coincided with a bad performance for the Madrilenians, beaten at Liverpool in the Champions League and forced into a draw by Rayo Vallecano and Elche. Enough to give rise to the idea of an Mbappé-dependence.
In the mixed zone, Miguel Angel Toribio raised the question, attracting the wrath of the French striker. “I find it absurd, he said in response. I don’t mean any disrespect, I’m just saying it’s a bad question. Everyone has their role in the team, and mine is to score goals. »
The journalist doesn’t blame him
“Every team has players who perform a specific function, and mine is to score, he continued.
This is what I can bring to the team. But I don’t think about interdependencies or that sort of thing. This is a topic for journalists… or people outside the team. »
Miguel Ángel Toribio did not take offense at Kylian Mbappé’s reaction. Quite the contrary. “I understand Mbappé, I understand what he meant, he told Radio Marca. He didn’t want to take away credit from his teammates. He defended his partners. It’s a message from a leader, from a teammate, I liked it. And I liked that he expressed his feeling of respect, looking into my eyes. Another would have taken advantage of his position to sink me. The way Mbappé responded, it’s a 10/10, very polite. He just didn’t like that my question made it seem like I was looking down on his teammates. »
