Far from his best level, Kylian Mbappé is going through a long period of adaptation to Real Madrid. The French striker has not been spared from criticism in recent weeks. But for former Merengue Nacho Fernandez, the Bondynois' situation is absolutely nothing to worry about.
While he made his dream come true by signing for Real Madrid, Kylian Mbappé found himself in the middle of a nightmare. The flagship recruit of the White House disappoints for his debut in the Spanish capital. Rather lenient at first, the local press ended up going wild after their completely failed Clasico. His rather honorable statistics (8 goals in 16 matches in all competitions) are not enough to meet the high expectations raised by his arrival.
Kylian Mbappé will soon be a hit
It must be said that the impressive performances of his teammate Vinicius Junior only highlight his difficulties. The contrast between the two stars clearly does not encourage optimism for the Frenchman. However, there is no need to worry if we are to believe former Merengue Nacho Fernandez, convinced that the former Paris Saint-Germain player is following the classic trajectory of a newcomer to Real Madrid. “ If Kylian Mbappé's situation surprises me? This surprises me yes and no “, replied the central defender of Al-Qadsiah on the Cadena COPE.
« He's one of the best players in the world but when you come to a club like Real Madrid, and I think it's happened to all the players, until you adapt, you get to know what playing for Real Madrid means is not the same as playing for another club, this adaptation is difficult. I'm sure he needs time. And when he starts to explode he will be spectacular because he has the character and the strength to be a great Real Madrid player », predicted the native of the Madrid region, specialist for Real Madrid after his 12 seasons with the first team.
