If the Spanish press and some Real Madrid supporters are starting to seriously criticize Kylian Mbappé, others are genuinely worried about his psychological health.
If we stick purely and simply to the statistics, the picture is not so bleak for Kylian Mbappé since he joined Real Madrid. Because after fifteen matches, in all competitions, the French striker has already scored eight goals and offered two assists. On the other hand, the Bondynois has so far not distinguished himself in the big matches. One of the many points which are now openly criticized by the press and some Merengue supporters. Some observers, however, continue to be concerned about the psychological state of the player.
This Wednesday on the channel's set The TeamSébastien Tarrago spoke about the complicated pass currently experienced by Kylian Mbappé. “Hostility (from the media) is classic and it’s not serious. It's Madrid. Otherwise you are not going to play for Real. Everyone has been there, Cristiano Ronaldo, Zidane (…). I'm a little surprised because I underestimated the state he was in, particularly psychologically. » For the journalist, this mental decline goes back much earlier, when Kylian Mbappé was still at PSG.
Mbappé no longer has a choice
“I always thought he should have left for Madrid much earlier. And now I think he left too late. He should have gone before Vinicius emerged. » And Sébastien Tarrago returns to the psychological side of things.
“He’s not thirty years old either, he’s twenty-five, he can turn things around. But the question is: what psychological state is he in? I am worried about his psychological state at the moment. I think he's really not doing well. And then, beyond that, on the game, is he ready to become a central striker? »
Because for the observer, Kylian Mbappé has no other choice at Real Madrid than to occupy this famous central position, Vinicius Junior being immovable on his left side. “There is no longer any choice. Either he launches into an internal war with Vinicius Junior (…), I think that would be a mistake, or he will try to become a central striker. And there, it is only him who can decide that. […] I don't understand why he left for Real Madrid without really talking about the tactical plan. » A challenge within the challenge for Kylian Mbappé.
