Is the pressure getting to the French superstar?
Kylian Mbappé's highly-anticipated move to Real Madrid hasn't quite lived up to the hype. The French forward has faced criticism for his recent performances, particularly the underwhelming display against Liverpool at Anfield. While the club's leadership continues to express confidence in him, concerns about his form are growing.
A recent report from France suggested that Mbappé's struggles may be linked to the team's playing style. The source claimed that the absence of key midfielders like Toni Kroos and Luka Modrić, as well as the less-than-ideal performances of Tchouaméni, Camavinga, and Jude Bellingham, has hindered Mbappé's ability to shine. The source emphasized the importance of having teammates who can assist with creative playmaking and precise passing, as he had at PSG with Neymar and Verratti.
However, Real Madrid's coach, Carlo Ancelotti, and president, Florentino Pérez, have a different perspective. They reportedly view the comments as a sign of a negative mindset and believe that Mbappé should be able to adapt to any situation and play with any teammate, much like the club's legendary forward, Cristiano Ronaldo.
What do you think? Is Mbappé struggling due to the team's style of play, or is it simply a matter of adapting to a new environment? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
