Arriving free at Real Madrid this summer after his departure from Paris Saint-Germain, Kylian Mbappé is currently struggling to find the level to which he had accustomed observers. Despite a game marked by a certain technical waste and a lack of precision in the last gesture, the French striker still has a record of 11 goals and 2 assists in 20 matches.
However, these statistics are not enough to convince everyone. Among the skeptics, Bixente Lizarazu was critical of his compatriot’s performance. The consultant of Téléfoot invited Mbappé to reconnect with “the pleasure of the game”.
The keys to relaunching Mbappé
“Football-wise, I’ve been watching him from the cradle, so I’ve seen him at a level that’s not the one he has today, that’s obvious,” first declared the former left-back of Bayern Munich. He is still borrowed and hesitant in certain situations. I watched the Girona match very carefully, in the first half, he missed a lot of things and was not incisive in his runs. Fortunately, there is this second half and this goal, which is really a very nice goal, with a double acceleration. »
For Lizarazu, Mbappé still needs to work on several aspects.“He has to work physically, he has to find this speed again, at 25 years old, it’s impossible to have lost his speed. He has to find that again, he scared all the defenders. Then, he has to rediscover the pleasure of the game. There are too many things that have disturbed him in recent months, it’s not the pressure from Real, it’s things that have bothered him and you need the pleasure of the game,” explained the 98 world champion.
