The former offensive player of the Girondins de Bordeaux, now a consultant, Ludovic Obraniakspoke about the Real Madrid striker, Kylian Mbappéwho scored twice for Real Madrid last weekend in the 4-1 victory over Las Palmas.
“He’s finding legs again, it’s true. I look back at photos from the start of the season, and I see photos now… I think he's gone downhill, on the bodybuilding. He stopped weight training at the top. Perhaps he had calibrated himself to be able to play this number 9 pivot position. Finally, I find that he has found lightness again. In any case, we see that it is much more fluid, more airy, as it was before. It’s also a return to common sense. Kylian Mbappé is better when he takes the opponents' backs and goes deep… His primary quality is taking up space and speed […] We must also say thank you Carlo Ancelotti… In the context of his return, I find that he had a great impact. Between taking him out and supporting him, there can be a happy medium, but I find that when it was hard, he often defended him, he protected him and brooded on him. Perhaps he sensed before us that it was going to happen like that. So well done, and that’s why he’s Ancelotti… He got wet all the same.”
