Recruit desired by Florentino Pérez, Kylian Mbappé has struggled to raise his level since his arrival at Real Madrid. A casting error according to Olivier Rouyer, former player and now consultant.
Last summer, the Kylian Mbappé soap opera ended. Waiting for another one? While he categorically refused to extend his contract with Paris Saint-Germain, the Bondynois left freely for Real Madrid. Ardently desired by Florentino Pérez, the president of the Merengues, the top scorer in the history of PSG arrived with great fanfare. A Santiago Bernabéu stadium dressed to the nines for its official presentation and the first steps under its rather promising new colors. But after three months, the first conclusions fell: it did not live up to expectations. Should we note a casting error or an unfavorable context?
Kylian Mbappé can no longer do it, a recruitment error
Author of 8 goals and 2 assists in 15 matches in all competitions since his arrival at Real Madrid, Kylian Mbappé does not show the technical superiority that he demonstrated before. The unease has also increased within the French team itself, since after having refused his call-up during the October gathering, the number 9 of Real Madrid was not called up for the November one either. This time, it’s a choice from Didier Deschamps. Such a decision logically implies the opening of debates.
On the set of The Evening TeamOlivier Rouyer commented on the situation of Kylian Mbappé. “ Is it misused? I agree, except that the president of Real Madrid is giving Carlo Ancelotti a poisoned gift. If Real loses the next match, Ancelotti might get fired, because he has this problem 'what do I do with Mbappé, since I can't put him on the left?' It's a big problem. The timing of his transfer? He's not good! We all agree », Explains the former player turned consultant. In addition to Kylian Mbappé's non-call-up to the French team, perhaps Ancelotti needs to put him on the bench to result in a significant electroshock.
