Hungry for sport, he grew up to the sound of Formula 1 engines and the exploits of Ronaldinho. Today, with a Master’s degree in sports journalism, he no longer misses an F1 Grand Prix or a PSG match, his two passions and specialties.
Expected to join Real Madrid for several years, Kylian Mbappé finally joined the Merengue club last summer when his contract with PSG ended. However, the Bondynois is far from meeting the expectations raised by his signing, and this is starting to get talked about in Spain.
« Why is Mbappé’s mediocrity ruining Real Madrid? » The atmosphere is calm. The question is signed Irrigation Angel and it is quite simply the title of his editorial for the Spanish media The Confidential. A scathing editorial in which Kylian Mbappé is clearly taking his position after his discreet start to the season with the Real Madrid. Excerpts.
“With Mbappé, it’s as if we had signed the Pelé of the Cosmos”
« Around the 70th minute of the match against Villarreal, the Frenchman went to the bench. He doesn’t move a bit. The audience automatically applauds him. The one who was considered for years as the prodigal son no longer arouses anything but indifference. And he knows it. And he does not rebel against this cruel form of indifference. He doesn’t change his face, he doesn’t speed up his runs, he doesn’t press, he doesn’t raise his rustic game as a little star on the decline. He just strolls and walks. His reluctance is unprecedented in the history of Madrid », he wrote first, before being even more radical.
“Each match is like its farewell match”
« With Mbappé, it’s as if we had signed the Pelé of the Cosmos. Each match is like his farewell match, we forgive him his clumsiness for everything he gave us during these incredible summers. In this same match against the Yellow Submarine, Vinícius is surrounded by three opponents a few meters from the surface. With a first hip movement, he moves away from the opponent and places the ball. In a flash, he shoots where there was nothing. Goal in the skylight, exclaim the children. And a little later, the guard is made aware of what happened », added Irrigation Angel.
