With ten goals and two assists in 19 matches played in the Real Madrid jersey since his arrival, Kylian Mbappé's statistical record is nothing to be ashamed of, especially for the first months in a new challenge. But everyone expects a lot more from Kylian Mbappé on several levels, whether in terms of efficiency with many unconverted chances, but above all integration into the Madrid game which is not obvious, and even makes people say that the arrival of the crack Bondy disrupted a Real Madrid which worked very well last season with its attacking trio Bellingham – Vinicius – Rodrygo.
The focus on his star status
Enough to create impatience within the White House. Not really since the beginnings of a Zidane or a Benzema remind us that it sometimes takes time to integrate. But that doesn't stop the upper echelons of the club from putting pressure on. Illustration with a manager for more than ten years who mentions the Mbappé case in L'Equipe du jour, and does not fail to remind him of his duties, particularly in terms of connection with his partners, who have as much star status as him . “At Real Madrid, you have to share the light with the other stars by finding a balance between individualism and collective dimension. Raul said that “wearing this jersey is the greatest responsibility a football player can have.” This means that all players on the team have a key role. Mbappé must understand that being a star in no way excludes sharing the spotlight in the interest of the team,” says the manager.
For this senior member of the Merengue club, Kylian Mbappé has not yet completely mastered the dimension of his Madrid challenge. And now has to deal with a jersey that weighs heavier than all the others. “In fact, his first challenge is to face the history, the requirement and the unique responsibility that comes with putting on the Real Madrid jersey. Santiago Bernabeu said: “The Real jersey is white as snow and soft as silk but it does not tremble in the Holy of Holies or in the pressure cooker of a stadium.” Mbappé must understand that the weight of this jersey is not only physical but also emotional. It requires greatness in every action,” says one of Florentino Perez’s right-hand men.
