Kylian Mbappé's bad moment is beginning to generate increasing drama both in Real Madrid and in the French team. The 25-year-old forward is going through a notable sporting and personal crisis that, in the 'Les Bleus' locker room, seems to have its origins in the psychological aspect.
And the media pressure generated by his signing for Madrid, along with some extra-sports scandal, seem to be conditioning the performance of the French star. Furthermore, the poor play of the 'merengue' team does not help much for a footballer forced to play in a position in which he cannot fully exploit.
"If Kylian has psychological or personal problems in his day-to-day life, we will always be there to help him," Ibrahima Konaté told 'Télefoot' before the clash against Italy for matchday six of the UEFA Nations League.
Deschamps charges against Ancelotti for Mbappé's bad moment
For his part, the French coach, Didier Deschamps, also stated his position regarding the bad moment of Bondy and the reasons why he preferred not to summon him this month for the duels against Israel and Italy. For the French coach, Mbappé's downturn lies in a "complicated situation" that forces him to "rethink his tactical position."
In that sense, Deschamps criticized Carlo Ancelotti and Luis Enrique, his last two club coaches, for insisting on putting Kylian as a center forward. "He doesn't have Giroud's profile, everything depends on the team we play against. It's about positioning balances, but you always have to leave a lot of freedom," argued the French coach.
Although he was not suffering from any injuries, Kylian stayed in Madrid during the November break. The forward had not been with 'Les Bleus' in October either, which is why there is concern and annoyance within the national team regarding the current status of their top star.
Despite the enormous expectations generated by his arrival at the 'White House', Bondy's player has barely scored 6 goals in 13 LaLiga games (3 from penalties), 8 fewer than Robert Lewandowski (14), and a total of 8 goals. in 16 games in all competitions.
