As Kylian Mbappé goes through a very challenging period in his career, revelations have surfaced from France. Currently far from Real Madrid as he enjoys a few hours of rest in Paris during this international break, KM9 must appreciate the recent disclosures.
It’s no longer a secret that Kylian Mbappé is not doing well. Having arrived in Madrid as a superstar this summer, the 25-year-old forward who dazzled in Ligue 1 with PSG over the past seven years is striving to meet expectations at his new club. Quickly scoring with Carlo Ancelotti’s team in his early games, the Bondy native impressed the Madrileños. However, for the past few weeks, the situation has been tense. In fact, since the FIFA international break in October, when he wasn’t called up by Les Bleus, the French star has become entangled in a negative spiral.
Mbappé’s problems
Criticised in France for his choice, which some found unsuitable in regard to the national team, Kylian Mbappé didn’t help matters with a quick trip to Sweden at the invitation of Nordi Mukiele, a PSG player currently on loan to Bayer Leverkusen. After this trip, Mbappé was named in a case involving sexual misconduct, and the Real Madrid forward, now facing heavy criticism, is trying to shine on the pitch to silence his detractors.
However, nothing is going right since, in the last four matches, he has failed to score and, above all, has struggled to perform well in Real Madrid’s big matches. Left out of the national team once again by Les Bleus’ manager, Kylian Mbappé is attempting to recover mentally in his home country, spending time with Achraf Hakimi and also with Arnau Tenas, the Spanish PSG goalkeeper.
“Kylian has a mental issue”
Trying to find explanations for the former AS Monaco player’s inability to regain his past form, L’Équipe reached out to his inner circle. In the columns of the French newspaper, several of Kylian Mbappé’s close associates shared their insights on Tuesday. Speaking anonymously, one confidant did not hide that the French team captain is struggling with serious mental challenges.
“Call it what you will, but Kylian has been dealing with a mental issue for several months. It’s not something that’s resolved just like that; it requires time and the work he’s doing with specialists,” they said. While this admission confirms the theory held by many who believe a drastic change has occurred in the life of the new Madrid player, another contact who knows Mbappé like the back of his hand went even further.
“It was well-organised with his parents”
According to this source, Fayza Lamari and Wilfried Mbappé, who are said to no longer be very present in their son’s life, are making things worse. “From the moment too many people got involved around him, that’s when the problems began. When his parents were almost solely in charge of him, everything was well-organised,” this contact told L’Équipe. It’s a major revelation that is sure to cause a stir in France and Spain alike.
Today, it is clear that things need to improve around the 25-year-old forward, who seems to be losing his mental edge. Very silent in recent weeks, there is a question of what is really going on in the mind of KM9, whom all of Real Madrid are eager to see shine again as he did in the past.
