The Kylian Mbappé integration process was factually short, but appeared a lot of expectations around the player. Seven months later, the Frenchman regained his best version and he became the undisputed leader of the club’s wardrobe “of his dreams”.
The idea of a Kylian Mbappé In the service of the collective, before anything else, only lasted a few months. Arrived with the desire to integrate as best as possible in a team of champions, trying to make a place among the stars already present, the Frenchman arrived there in barely six months. This integration strategy was initially logical with regard to its liabilities with the PSGand especially due to the fact that he had just fulfilled his ultimate dream. And for it to continue, it was necessary to adopt the best of the methods.
“Vinicius Jr.? It will work with him, it’s up to me to adapt to the team and the players presenthe explained on the day of his presentation at Santiago Bernabéu in an archical press room. This is my priority, where I will put all my energy and it is the only thing I have in mind “. And this is how the player’s first weeks were marked in Madrid. A good thing, a priori, for the locker room and for the club. While in terms of this, the number 9 Merengue was also to find his physique of yesteryear, after a last year in Ligue 1 complicated and a nose injury to theEuro who had slowed him down.
But as often in a process, there can be stockings. And these hazards, Kylian Mbappé Known. These first months of competition are marked by a player who seems to be only the shadow of himself, despite the goals he can register. Carlo Ancelotti struggles to find its collective version 2023-2024 and, beyond integrating your new star, you have to find a balance since the departure of Toni kroos. So nothing easy. Whether it is the Italian coach as the tricolor attacker, each wipe out criticism from fans and the Spanish press for the first and the French press for the second.
So would your new star on a pedestal have been a better solution? We will never know, but there is no doubt that the bet would have been very risky with players who won everything next to him. Now seven months later, the observation is as follows: Kylian Mbappé joined the club and the locker room of Real Madrid to his cause. Which ? That of becoming the number 1, the player he had accustomed to us to be, with a last dream to accomplish: to win the Ballon d’or.
The locker room falls in love with Mbappé
Wanting to integrate is good. Becoming the leader of the team is better. Kylian Mbappé Can now boast to have become the one he is, thanks to hard work, whether on the grounds as outside. Because to be the best of your team, you must first find the physical form that made you shine. It was one of the objectives set with the club when it arrived last July. The French pose his suitcases in the Spanish capital without personal physical trainer, but by giving all the necessary freedom to Real Madrid To help him find his best version.
Pour Antonio Pintus And company, everything goes as planned, because the French puts his own. The latter follows the plan prepared by the club’s physical trainer to the letter and he works in the facilities of the Ciudad Real Madrid as at a distance. Also, the two international truces he misses will do him good when catching up with the missed physical preparation of summer. And rest will be crucial to him to regenerate. And quickly, between October and November, Carlo Ancelotti will assure in front of the press that the optimal version of the player is near.
-The echoes that come out of the club as for the state of mind of the French have always been good – even perfect: “A educated boy, happy to be in Madrid, and with the desire to integrate as well as possible in his new club “. If in France, a certain press echoes a difficult integration of the player in the locker room with his teammates, notably “Les Braziliens”, several those around the Spanish club provide to Flashscore Newsweek after week, that all welcomed the captain of theFrench team with open arms. And not because the latter is a “dictator” (or other fad), but because Mbappé Do the necessary, from the first day, to be one with his new locker room.
Very quickly, he binds to affinity with Brahim Díazbefore finding his teammates in France team. And the more the weeks pass, the more his relationship with Vinicius Jr. – that many feared before his signature – becomes truly friendly, as we could confirm the entourage of the Brazilian. From then on, his teammates will expect only one thing: that Mbappé finds his real level and offers to them, and to all those who believed in him, the goals whose Real Madrid needs.
The reality of the club ends up catching up with him: Mbappé, natural leader
“I cannot arrive in a club like Real Madrid and say ‘Hey, Pass me the ball, as if I were the chef”. This is what the player explained this Tuesday at a press conference before the meeting against Salzbourg. And, in the background, it’s logical. But, in fact, the reality was as follows: the French had signed in the Real Madrid To be his leader, as was before him Cristiano Ronaldo. This is in any case why Florentino Pérez was so obstinate to sign it, despite all the events that have been able to occur since 2021.
Obvious that the former player of PSG Perhaps forgotten, he who was much more focused in the fact that his integration with his new teammates is going on for the best. And that didn’t help with the fact that Carlo Ancelotti Do not really decide who was the team’s penalty shooter, alternating weeks after week between him, Vinicius Jr. et Jude Bellingham. But since the beginning of January, the Italian admitted that he had to finally have to “Slice”a decision that appeared at the same time when Mbappé had found his best face …
Seven months later, Kylian Mbappéwho marked in each final that he played with the Realwon two trophies (European Super Cup et Intercontinental cut). Its figures are good and will continue to inflate until next July with the new Club World Cup : 22 goals and 4 assists in 32 matches in all competitions.
Above all, the captain of theFrench team managed to rally to his cause all his teammates, and this, based on humility, listening and decisive performances. Vinicius Jr.the one who is considered by many to be the best player in the world in 2023-2024, said after the victory against Salzbourg that the French was “Coming to help us”and that them “will help Mbappé to be Pichichi in all competitions”. Sacred Declaration of the Brazilian, who proves the desire that his teammates have so that he can reach his ultimate dream: the Ballon d’Or.
