It’s Kylian Mbappé who says it. “ My adaptation is finished. I now feel very good in this team. We know each other better with my partners, I play better with them and it shows that I have been better for several matches,” confided the Bondynois on Sunday after Real Madrid’s victory against Sevilla (4-2), for the Merengues’ last match in 2024.
Mbappé thus uses the expression used by his coach, Carlo Ancelotti, who had assured before this match that the adaptation period was over for his star striker. What the Italian coach said again after the meeting.
Mbappé admits to having hit rock bottom
Everything is going much better for Mbappé. And it was far from over when we remember his face, after his missed penalty in Bilbao, his second consecutive failure in the exercise after the missed one in Liverpool. The former Parisian then seemed to have a very low level of confidence, which he now confirms.
“I think the match in Bilbao, with my missed penalty, served me because I had hit rock bottom,
he admitted. It made me realize that I had to give my all for this jersey and play with personality. »
It was December 4, less than three weeks ago. What’s next? Four goals in four matches, and 2 assists. Here is Mbappé with 14 goals on the clock, the highest total of his team tied with Vinicius. Not so bad for a start that could be considered laborious. But this period is now in the past.
