Despite the difficult start of the captain of the French team at Real Madrid, his teammates remain convinced that he will soon perform at his best level.
The marriage between Kylian Mbappé and Real Madrid is not yet completely successful. Arriving free from PSG last summer, the French international striker is struggling to blend into the “Merengue” collective and express the full extent of his talent.
A delicate start which causes a lot of talk but which hardly worries within the White House. Heavily criticized after the defeat in the Champions League at Liverpool in the middle of the week (0-2), during which he notably missed a penalty, “Kyky” raised his head this Sunday, December 1 in La Liga on the occasion of the 15th day, author of a magnificent goal against Getafe (2-0).
After the match, Thibaud Courtois defended the Frenchman, who still lacks efficiency: “I don't think we should look for a whole bunch of reasons for his lack of goals either. Sometimes, it's mental. He wants to do so well that sometimes, when you do too much, it doesn't work. The more you try, the less successful it is. He has to be calm, patient, and do the simple things well. focus on the hardest part.”
And the Belgian doorman launches into a tasty comparison: “Sometimes, it's like a bottle of ketchup, no matter how hard you tap it, it only comes out a little bit, and then suddenly everything comes out. I I think it's going to be the same for him, suddenly everything is going to happen and he's going to score lots of goals like he did in Paris, in Monaco and with the France team.”
