Mbappé begins to feel the pressure of “zero” at Real Madrid

Tthe match was over and Mbappé ran into the tunnel, almost without greeting anyone, without saying goodbye to the Bernabéuprobably overtaken by a bad afternoon in front of goal, the fourth in a row without seeing the goal at home. Mbappe seems increasingly distressed at not taking off with the Real Madrid jersey, even if the club, Ancelotti and the Bernabeu support him and will not let him get discouraged.

“Mbappé didn't score, but he played well, he participated in a lot of games, I'm happy with his game,” said Ancelotti after the Madrid-Osasuna match, aware that the Frenchman is not having a good time . The attacker's body language says it all. He's getting more and more desperate, with his head down, throwing his arms up when he's not found or when he doesn't get a dribble, complaining to the corner referee when he can't find one. goals. Mbappé is overwhelmed by the sudden stoppage he suffered, having not scored since October 19 against Celta. Zero against Dortmund, Barcelona, ​​Milan and Osasuna, Mbappé is going through an unprecedented crisis.

At Real Madrid, the alarm bells are not ringing yet and we support him. Indeed, the match against Osasuna was full of gestures of affection towards the French star. He was the last player to be announced over the PA system in the lineups, although it was still Vinicius. He was the image chosen by the club to start the match on social media. The Bernabeu chanted his name when they noticed he was down. Ancelotti left him on the pitch for the entire match trying to find his goal, even moving him to the left so he could play in his preferred position. But even then, things didn't go well for him.

Real Madrid pressure and the problem with France

The current context in his country doesn't help him either. The storm that broke out during his trip to Sweden, his absence from the previous team, Deschamps' decision not to recall him now and the trial he is experiencing with PSG do not help a player who arrived at Real Madrid after a very difficult year. to the Parisian club, in which he was sidelined and saw how he was sent to the bench for non-renewal. All this context, combined with the pressure from Madrid, causes Mbappé not living his best days in the white team.

Kylian, it is said, is perfectly suited to the locker room and the city, but he suffers on the pitch. Firstly because the objectives do not arrive. And secondly, because this position doesn't help him. Mbappé struggles as a number nine, while Vinicius likes to start on the left. The Brazilian is undoubtedly the leader of the team. Not Mbappé.

The Frenchman tries to find serenity surrounded by his family, who makes him understand that it is only a question of time. His teammates and Ancelotti also try to help him. Brahim Diaz, one of his best friends in the locker room, helps him in these difficult moments when he loses his smile. French players, like Camavinga, Tchouameni and Mendy, are also above him so that he does not get discouraged. They all agree he will be key to winning titles in May.
