Mbappé and Madrid, it’s a love and hate relationship almost never seen in football. One day, he was unanimously praised in the media in the Spanish capital, and everyone seemed to want to see him arrive at the Bernabéu. The next day, he was criticized from all sides and Merengue observers and fans explained that they preferred that their club turned to players like Erling Halaand. “Whatever he does, he is already the most unbearable player in the history of Real Madrid. It’s so boring. He should admit that he was wrong to come. The debt he has with Real Madrid is almost impossible to pay, he must accept his mistake, and know that money is not the most important thing. Everything suggests that he will come and not continue in Paris. If he continues, it’s really Machiavellian”explained for example Tomas Roncero, a fairly well-known pro-Madrid journalist on the other side of the Pyrenees.
If this soap opera allows the media to generate traffic, it also has the gift of annoying more than one person. This Sunday again, there is talk of Mbappé in Spain. This time, it is not because of his behavior, but quite simply because the media believe, as is often the case after each big victory for Carlo Ancelotti’s men, that the team does not need Kylian Mbappé.
Is it necessary to recruit Mbappé?
The Italian’s statements – “you keep asking me about a player who plays for another team. We already have the best players in the world here. In order: Vini Junior first, Jude Bellingham second, Rodrygo third » – cause a lot of talk and, above all, are validated by a large part of the media and public opinion. “If Mbappé wants to play on the right side of Real Madrid… He will have to work. Seeing the level of Vinicius and everything he brings to the team, the decision that Carlo Ancelotti will have to make will be complicated if the French crack arrives in Madrid.explains thus Marca.
Tomas Roncero added another piece to the machine for his part, on the air of the Cadena SER : “I no longer have the sense of urgency to recruit him that I had two years ago. Two years ago, it was absolutely necessary to recruit him. Today, it is no longer so clear”. He who had already tackled the Bondynois during the meeting: “Vinicius’ pass (on a Bellingham goal, Editor’s note), Mbappé has never done it in his life”. The message has gotten through.
