After a physically and mentally tiring season, Kylian Mbappé is currently enjoying a well-deserved rest. The Bondy player had nevertheless been presented as a new Real Madrid player before going on holiday, in a packed Bernabéu. A galactic presentation, and jerseys flocked with his name and his number 9 which are well on their way to breaking sales records in Madrid…
Needless to say, the media impact of his arrival was enormous. But above all, Kylian Mbappé also had the opportunity to meet some of his new teammates after this presentation. The Frenchman was able to chat with the staff, then with Lunin, Lucas Vázquez, Alaba, Vallejo, Fran García, Ceballos and Brahim Diaz, players already working in Madrid, as well as with several young players from Real Madrid Castilla. And everyone was shocked. Positively.
A good first impression
Indeed, everyone was first very surprised by his level of Spanish, particularly good, and that they had already been able to see at work during the presentation. He also left a very good impression on the players mentioned above, while he already had a good relationship with other players also on vacation like him, like Vinicius Jr but also the French clan of Real Madrid.
We know that first impressions are very important when a player arrives at a new club. Especially in the context of Madrid where, due to the incredible number of stars per square meter, everyone’s egos must be taken into account. But we also know that it is above all on his contribution on the field that Mbappé will be judged, as much by his teammates as by the staff, the fans and the media. See you on August 14 in the European Super Cup, against Atalanta, for his probable debut with the club of his dreams…
