After a sluggish start to the season with his new Real Madrid colours, Kylian Mbappé is gradually finding his bearings. His performances are struggling to convince some football observers, notably Bertrand Latour.
Real Madrid’s new number 9 after seven seasons at Paris Saint-Germain, Kylian Mbappé must find his feet within one of the best-oiled teams in the world, which has just won a fifteenth Champions League at Wembley against Borussia Dortmund (2-0). After a tricky start, the former Monaco player has unblocked his counter and is trying to develop a bond with Vinicius Junior. During the Merengue’s victory against Espanyol Barcelona (4-1), Mbappé scored his team’s last goal from a penalty and also provided an assist for the Brazilian, which brings his statistics to six goals and one assist in eight games since his debut this season. Even if the understanding with Vinicius improves match after match, Bertrand Latour, for his part, expects even more from the former PSG player with his new team.
Bertrand Latour criticizes Kylian Mbappé
The former journalist for the L’Equipe channel, now a columnist for Canal+, was not kind to Mbappé on the Canal Football Club set this Sunday evening: “We’re talking about a guy who is one of the three best players in the world, the game is in front of him. That he is capable of making a deep pass to Vinicius and scoring the penalty for 4-1, thank you! Fortunately he knows how to do it. Before, we wouldn’t have had time to talk during a broadcast about all his actions in a match. Vinicius did more than him in the match even though he only played fifteen minutes. He missed opportunities, is that very satisfying? I’m waiting, there’s no problem. At one time, he would come on the pitch and we would say to ourselves: ‘Oh dear, what’s going to happen?’ He has become (Filippo) Inzaghi, he scores goals like Inzaghi,” he said on the encrypted channel in recent hours. A rise in power of Kylian Mbappé is expected throughout the season to reassure the supporters of the Madrid club who have been waiting for his arrival for several seasons.
