Kylian Mbappé is everywhere. Just yesterday, the international tricolor made people talk about him. In addition to the stolen images of his private life with his supposed companion Ester Exposito, the Frenchman appeared in an advertisement for Lego alongside Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and Vinicius Jr. Finally, in the evening, he participated in the show The Bridge during which he reviewed numerous subjects. A few days before, the captain of the Blues also occupied the media field, whether for his performances with the rooster jersey or the affair concerning his knee.
During the truce, several media, starting with RMC Sport and journalist Daniel Riolo, revealed that the Real Madrid staff would have treated KM10’s bad knee. Indeed, his right knee would have been examined and treated while the Frenchman was suffering from his left knee. Spanish newspapers have confirmed this incredible error on the part of the Merengues. Faced with all this agitation, the 27-year-old striker decided to speak at the French team’s press conference before the friendly match against Brazil.
The Mbappé affair has caused ink to flow
“No, the bad knee information is not true. I may be indirectly responsible for this situation. When you don’t communicate about what you have and what’s going on, it leaves room for interpretation. That’s the game. I know what I’m getting into when I don’t communicate. With Real, we had quite clear communication, like when I also went to Paris and saw other doctors. And regarding the level of Real Madrid in my absence, it’s good that we can play like that. I wanted the team to win, to take points so as not to be left behind in the championship and in C1.
He added: “It’s good pressure because when the team is doing well, you have to get into the mold straight away. Afterwards when I wasn’t there and we lost in January, everyone thought I was the only solution and that wasn’t the case. And now, they say that we play better without me, so we will have to see when I come back. But Daniel Riolo persisted and assured that this was only a communication strategy developed by the Frenchman and his club in order to calm things down. Silent since the start of this controversy, Real Madrid broke the silence this Friday through the voice of its coach Alvaro Arbeloa.
Arbeloa denies diagnostic error
“What Mbappé has clearly stated in recent days is that this information is false, and we must forget about this knee problem and focus on him scoring goals.” Then, he talked about the pressure that would weigh on his star’s shoulders. “Kylian is extremely involved in the team. He has an excellent sense of teamwork. It is clear that attackers must defend less than defenders, just as they must attack more. With the talent of these players, they make the difference.
Raised one last time on the Frenchman, who was a substitute during the derby against Atlético de Madrid and who would not have appreciated being on the bench, he was very clear. “Mbappé and I have always communicated directly. We talked about almost everything. The fact that he was a substitute during the derby was obvious, and I never received the slightest complaint from him. For me, it is a privilege to have a player of this caliber and such humility. Move along, there’s nothing to see. This is the message sent by Arbeloa and Casa Blanca regarding the Frenchman, who is applying for a place tomorrow against Mallorca in La Liga.
