There are those who focus on the statistics, which are generally good with 7 goals in 11 appearances for Real Madrid, and those who watch Kylian Mbappé’s matches, with mainly disappointing content since the start of the season. Until then, the Spanish press, notoriously Ace And Marca the two pro-Madrilenian newspapers, defended her new prodigy tooth and nail, even though she noted certain difficulties in the game.
But a milestone has clearly been reached, and the criticisms are becoming harsher. This is evidenced by a particularly virulent article byThe Confidentialwhose author clearly did not appreciate the turn taken by Real Madrid this season. Small anthology of shocking sentences: “The fact that for years he was considered the prodigal son only provokes indifference. And he knows it. And he does not rebel against this cruel form of disenchantment. He doesn’t change his face, he doesn’t advance his career, he doesn’t press, he doesn’t improve his rustic game as a fading minor star. »
A disappointment that lives up to expectations
Or again: “with Mbappé, it’s as if we had signed Pelé from Cosmos. Each match is like his farewell match, we forgive him his clumsiness for everything he gave us during these incredible summers”. The article also takes care of turning on other players (“The boys who display their mediocrity in midfield are not Real Madrid. There is no mind, there is no soul”), and deplores that Casa Blanca lost a large part of its collective strength by wanting to stack the offensive stars.
Is the team that won the main trophies last season, with La Liga and the Champions League, still hungry? The arrival of Mbappé in search of his best football, and above all better sensations, does not help him find his usual voracity. The Frenchman is not yet boosting his team, and he is even judged “disappointing” And “in bad shape” according to the terms ofThe Confidential. He who was so desired by Real Madrid, his supporters and his cohort of journalists have not yet brought the expected boost of energy.
