After several weeks of waiting, Kylian Mbappé was presented to Real Madrid supporters and met his coach, Carlo Ancelotti.
Upon his arrival at the Madrid club, Mbappé and his coach don’t see eye to eye on a crucial point. The Bondy native wants to start playing quickly, but that doesn’t depend solely on him.
Kylian Mbappé fulfilled “a childhood dream” by signing for the White House. Presented before a crowd on Tuesday, the captain of the French national team expressed his desire to make his debut for the Spanish capital club soon.
While he should have four weeks of vacation like all other Real Madrid players who participated in the Copa or Euro 2024, the Bondy-born player is considering joining the summer tour in the United States.
“We discussed this morning with the club’s medical team, and we will wait for the results. Then, we will see what we will do. I will probably play in the Super Cup, but it depends on the coach. I will be ready. It would be the first title, and I want to play. But this question is for the coach. I am at the club’s disposal. They will give me more information in the coming days. Upon my return on the date you indicated, I will prepare to help,” said the former Paris Saint-Germain player at a press conference.
But at the White House, Real Madrid’s executives do not see the importance of the former AS Monaco player’s presence on the tour, which ends on August 7 with a friendly match on the night of August 6-7. According to information reported by AS, President Florentino Pérez and coach Carlo Ancelotti prefer to give the Bondy native a rest.
“The most important thing for the new season is rest, first, and the recovery of all the most exhausted internationals. Taking Mbappé on the tour would undoubtedly seem like a good idea, but it would be physiologically imprudent,” said a source from the Merengue club as reported in the Iberian newspaper. Given that the player is injured in the nose and should recover, Madrid’s executives do not want to take any risks with Mbappé.
According to the terms of the contract, Kylian Mbappé will play under Carlo Ancelotti for the next five years at Real Madrid.
He was presented at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in front of more than 85,000 people.
