Kylian Mbappé is doing better. After several weeks of strong criticism and doubts around him, the Bondynois striker ended his 2024 year well. He is not yet the best Mbappé, but he, for example, scored three goals and delivered an assist on his three last matches played under the merengue tunic. A small metamorphosis which, inevitably, pleases supporters and the pro-Madrid media.
“ I can do a lot more. I know I have a lot more football in my legs than what I show. But, like I said, I’ve improved over the last few matches. Bilbao did me good, because I hit rock bottom by missing this penalty… I then understood that I had to give the maximum for this jersey, to play with personality », Confided the French striker recently. But as explained Marcathe player never really doubted. After this match in Bilbao (2-1), lost by the Madrilenians with another missed penalty from the Frenchman and a fairly mediocre performance, he was able to discuss with Florentino Pérez, the president of Real Madrid.
A decisive summit meeting
The two men met after this meeting which had earned Mbappé terrible criticism, and the player promised his boss that things would change quickly. “ No one will regret my arrival “, would have even explained the former PSG. For his part, Pérez was quite kind and wanted to convey confidence to his player, explaining to him that for him and for the rest of the leaders, nothing had changed and that everyone was delighted to have him in Madrid . A discussion which did Mbappé good, again according to the newspaper.
It must be said that within the club, no one doubted what he could bring. If certain supporters and certain journalists were sometimes able to make rather harsh speeches against KM9the management, but especially the staff and the rest of the Real Madrid locker room, have always had blind faith in Mbappé. With 14 goals scored in Madrid colors at the break, Mbappé can look forward to the second half of the season with optimism…
