Daniel Riolo does not hide his astonishment at this information released by Brand. “We’ll see if this stuff turns out to be true, because it’s pretty mind-blowing. Or else he’ll spend entire training sessions trying to put some on.”imagined the sports journalist on the airwaves of RMC.
Mbappé gives to Vinicius what he didn’t want to give to Neymar
As for penalties, Vinicius will continue to take them as a priority. “Seeing Kylian Mbappé leave the penalties to Vinicius while at PSG, he sulked by wanting to take them instead of one of the best in this field (Neymar, Editor’s note)… It’s a terrible concession for him, which he wasn’t ready to make when he was in Paris”recalls Walid Acherchour.
On Wednesday, Kylian Mbappé had his first training session with Real Madrid. The Bondy native appeared very sharp. On August 14, he should take part in his first official match with the Merengue club, against Atalanta Bergamo, on the occasion of the European Super Cup.
