The whistles heard at the Santiago Bernabéu against Kylian Mbappé did not only surprise observers. According to information from Marcathey also surprised internally, notably on the side of Florentino Pérez. The president of Real Madrid does not really understand the severity of part of the Madrid public towards the French striker, despite the fact that he scored a new goal in the victory against Deportivo Alavés. A bronca which comes in a context of general frustration after several disappointing results and a season which could end without a major trophy.
In private, Florentino Pérez relies on a simple argument to defend his player. The Madrid boss recalls that the figures speak for him and underlines the offensive effectiveness of the Frenchman since his arrival. Convinced that the future of the club rests on an attacking duo composed of Mbappé and Vinícius Júnior, the manager remains convinced that the two stars will carry Real Madrid for many years. Enough to put into perspective, in his eyes, the criticisms and whistles heard in recent days in the stands of the Bernabéu.
