Under fire from criticism at Real Madrid, Kylian Mbappé could receive support from Zinedine Zidane. Asked as an advisor, the former White House coach would provide the captain of the France team with valuable advice, as he has already been able to do with Karim Benzema.
In the eye of the storm, Kylian Mbappé is going through the most delicate period of his career. Lacking in efficiency, the captain of the France team receives criticism from all sides, especially after his nightmarish performance on Wednesday in Liverpool. Against the Reds, the former Parisian never managed to make the difference. And in the second half he hit rock bottom when he missed his penalty, saved by Caoimhin Kelleher, when the score was still 1-1. Faced with the tidal wave sweeping over his attacker, Carlo Ancelotti publicly came to his defense. Like Jude Bellingham and other players.
After Benzema, Zidane new mentor of Mbappé?
This unwavering support from the White House could also take an even stronger form. According to SportZinedine Zidane would have been asked to help “Kyky”. The Catalan media claims that the coach in three Champions Leagues with Real Madrid is one of the people with the most influence on the French striker whose transfer to the Spanish capital is largely due to Zinedine Zidane. In addition to having played an intermediary role between the two parties, the 98 world champion would also take on the role of advisor as he was able to do with Karim Benzema.
In his early days at Real Madrid, KB9 suffered immensely under the management of José Mourinho. Previously, “Zizou” himself had also experienced adaptation difficulties when he landed with the Merengues in 2001 from Juventus.
