In a very bad situation, both on the pitch with Real Madrid and behind the scenes after his getaway to Sweden, Kylian Mbappé is currently having psychological problems.
Since he asked not to come to the French team last month and was left out by Didier Deschamps for the two matches next week (against Israel at the Stade de France and Italy at San Siro ), Kylian Mbappé cannot explain. A skillful communicator, the captain of the Blues would have reassured everyone in front of the cameras, to say that he feels good, that he just needs time to adapt to his new life at Real Madrid and in the Spanish capital and that its lack of realism (catastrophic in recent weeks) is only temporary.
But Mbappé does not speak. After the improbable stay of the top scorer in the history of PSG in Stockholm in the middle of the international window – with two evenings in a nightclub which turned into an enigmatic legal case –, The Parisian spoke of latent mental suffering since his conflict with President Nasser al-Khelaïfi last winter. The Qatar-owned club owes 55 million euros in unpaid debts to its former number 7 and appears ready to defend itself in court.
Mbappé “really isn’t doing well”
Sébastien Tarrago, on the L’Equipe channel on Wednesday, validated the fragile mental health of the “Kyks”. “I’m a little surprised because I underestimated the state he was in, particularly psychologically. »explained the journalist, before developing: “He’s not 30 either, he’s 25, he can turn things around. But the question is: what psychological state is he in? I am worried about his psychological state at the moment. I think he’s really not doing well.”.
His absence of the French team next week will perhaps allow him to work more tactically and to develop some good centre-forward reflexes. At Real, Vinicius is essential on the left wing and makes a much better overflow player than Mbappé. The Bondy prodigy, forced to start in 9 (like last season under Luis Enrique), displays serious deficiencies in his movements. Not to mention that Jude Bellingham is now forced to defend a wide midfielder, far from the zone of truth.
