The controversy is gaining momentum in Spain. Back after his injury contracted at the end of April, Kylian Mbappé was the center of attention following Real Madrid’s victory against Real Oviedo (2-0). In an already tense context after the controversy linked to his trip to Sardinia, the striker was whistled by part of the public at the Santiago-Bernabéu.
In the mixed zone, the captain of the Blues then expressed his annoyance, addressing several criticisms to his partners and his staff. Facing the media, he notably targeted Alvaro Arbeloa, who had let him start on the bench, while having difficulty accepting this choice despite a stated desire to accept it.
“I’m very good, 100%. I didn’t play (the whole match) because the coach told me that I was the fourth striker in the squad behind Mastantuono, Gonzalo and Vini. (…) I was ready to be a starter”he blurted.
If he assures that he is not in conflict with his trainer, Kylian Mbappé also revealed uneasiness by returning to the departure of Xabi Alonso, with whom he had good relations, and the arrival of Alvaro Arbeloa. “We started the season well, in La Liga, in the Champions League… but we collapsed in the second half of the season. And it hurts a lot, because I feel like we had a very defined style of play and we let it slip away.”he said, as reported A.S..
