Despite criticism of his debut at Real Madrid, Kylian Mbappé is making a good impression internally. His teammate Antonio Rüdiger believes in his association with the other offensive stars of the Merengue. But for the German, number 1 remains his former partner Karim Benzema.
Seven goals in ten matches in all competitions. The statistic would be enough to make many attackers happy, especially within a new team. But Kylian Mbappé is not a player like the others and the Spanish press expects more. The Real Madrid center forward is indeed criticized for his lack of efficiency and complicity with his teammates on the pitch. Nothing to worry about Merengue Antonio Rüdiger who is already seeing the Frenchman’s good integration into the group.
« We hear things like this: “Kylian is going to pollute the locker room.” But he’s a guy with his feet on the groundreacted the central defender in an interview with the YouTube channel The Inside Scoop. I find him mature and he is already scoring goals, he is influential and his automatisms with Vinicius, Rodrygo and Jude (Bellingham) will improve. » Antonio Rüdiger may defend the captain of the Blues, his real favorite concerns another Frenchman. The German international remains marked by the talent of his former partner Karim Benzema.
Benzema, the best for Rüdiger
« Best player I’ve ever played with? Karim Benzemadecided the central defender who passed through Stuttgart, Roma and Chelsea. I could have cited many others. I could have said Luka Modric, Toni Kroos or Eden Hazard, but I have to stay on Karim Benzema because he was a great striker. His intelligence is incredible! It’s world class. » The 2022 Ballon d’Or has indeed left its mark on Real Madrid. And there is no doubt that Kylian Mbappé will try to do the same at the White House.
