[Spotal Korea] Reporter Park Yoon-seo = Kylian Mbappe is being criticized for his fundamental behavior.
“During this A-match break, Mbappe and his friends spent two evenings at a nightclub. Mbappe stayed in Sweden for three days. Here, he wanted a secret club visit to take place,” French media Foot Mercato reported on the 12th (Korea time).
Mbappe is the best professional striker. Since joining the Paris Saint-Germain team in 2017, Mbappe has scored 256 goals and 95 assists in 308 official matches.
Thanks to Mbappe’s performance, PSG has won a total of 15 trophies including six of its first league titles. However, it has repeatedly failed to reach the top of the UEFA Champions League, which is directly related to the award of the Ballon d’Or.
Mbappe then decided to move. He joined Real Madrid, the team that is closest to winning the UCL every season. Real Madrid won the UCL the most and succeeded in conquering the European stage in the 2023/24 season.
Mbappe has been performing below expectations since joining Real. He has scored five goals and one assist in eight La Liga matches, but three of them are penalties.
On top of that, Mbappe recently left the field due to a biceps injury in his femur. Real Madrid also failed to display as much destructive power as it did when it formed its main strikers, Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham, last year.
Given that it is still early in the season and it is Mbappe’s first challenge outside of his country, the slump is likely to not last long. Mbappe is also determined to do his best to show a good performance.
However, this is being expressed in a negative direction. According to media reports, Mbappe told French national team coach Didier Deschamps that he wanted to play only major matches during his national team schedule.
This is his willingness to play only in games that can make an impact on many people in their best condition for winning the Ballon d’Or, his biggest goal.
Criticism is mounting over Mbappe’s decision in France. This is because even top 꽁머니 such as Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, who have been on top of the world’s best stages for a long time in the past, have never played such a role.
