Kylian Mbappé thought he would have peace. At least, a little bit. Since Wednesday, all the spotlights have been on Federico Valverde and Aurélien Tchouameni who played out their buns in two acts. But the Frenchman has no respite. The Spanish media continue to put constant pressure on the captain of the France team and the star striker of Casa Blanca. In addition to the evolution of his injury and his presence or not during Sunday’s Clasico, there was once again a question of his attitude. A few days after his getaway to Italy with Ester Exposito, KM10 is tense again in Madrid.
Yesterday, when leaving the Valdebebas training center in his car, he appeared to be dying of laughter in front of the media, for an unexplained reason. Shortly before, we learned that his teammates had clashed again in the locker room. While some media outlets assumed he was not present at the time of the altercation, several publications confirmed he was there. His bursts of laughter in such a tense moment were not understood. This Friday, the Iberian press does not miss it, once again. On Onda Cerowe could hear: “Mbappé cannot go out with the window down so that we can see him bursting out laughing out loud.” Same on the Cadena COPE.
Too much laughter
“Mbappé’s gesture which outraged Real Madrid supporters. He left practice laughing. The Real Madrid striker once again finds himself at the heart of a controversy after a week during which, injured, he went to Italy (…) The final blow for Madrid supporters was undoubtedly the image left by Mbappé after training on Thursday. El Chiringuito’s cameras captured the French striker leaving Valdebebas laughing, shortly after the latest altercation between Tchouameni and Valverde was made public. This laughter contrasts sharply with the situation within Real Madrid and once again places an injured Kylian Mbappé at the heart of the controversy. A.S. is also stunned.
“Real Madrid no longer makes headlines for its big victories or the spectacular goals of its so-called superstars, idolized and protected by astronomical salaries which should be suspended immediately. Either the members of Fight Club apologize to the fans today or they should not play the Clásico. And Kylian, what are you laughing at?asks Tomas Roncero. “Mbappé’s laughter angered Real Madrid supporters…,” adds on his side El Chiringuito. Present on set, the journalist José Alvarez, who is pro-Barça, finished off the Frenchman. “Mbappé destroyed Real Madrid”, blurted the journalist. It’s not today that Spain is going to give up on Mbappé, who once again arrived dying of laughter at training behind the wheel of his car this Friday.
