Mbappé's Brutal Reply to Edu Aguirre after the Comments on 'El Chiringuito'

The Bondy striker appeared at a press conference before the game against RB Salzburg

The Real Madrid game against RB Salzburg is one of the most important games of the 24/25 season for the white sports discipline. The tight situation in the Champions League group stage, after several consecutive defeats, leaves little room for maneuver to qualify for this competition knockout rounds.

One of the players who undoubtedly must give it all to achieve this ideal result, since only a victory against Salzburg will do, is Mbappé. The '9' of the Meringue team has appeared in the press room of Ciudad Real Madrid to analyze the preview of this important game on Wednesday, the 22nd, at Santiago Bernabéu.

The most striking question is, without a doubt, about his performance. The offensive and scoring determination he showed against Palmas excites the Madrid fans, who have been hoping to see the best Mbappé, the one from PSG, since his arrival at the white club. It seems that the now Merengue center-forward is on the right track after some really challenging months of adaptation.

Speaking about this process, the Bondy striker acknowledges that "I'm not shy". His performances on the field have demonstrated this, both now and in his competitive past in the capital of France. However, "when you're a player like me, you come to Madrid, which won everything last season, you have to come with humility", Mbappé states.

He has it all very clear

Thus, the French forward understands that he must accept his position in Bernabéu locker room as a newcomer, without assuming a leadership role that doesn't belong to him. "That's not how soccer works, it's more about respect for the game. It's normal that the more time passes, the more importance I'll have in the team", the Parisian forward clarifies.

Many already place, after his brace against Las Palmas, Kylian Mbappé scoring 40 goals this season: "I don't set limits for myself, if I can score 40, I'll score 40". However, he also acknowledges that "if I can score more, I'll score more... I see in each match the opportunities I can have" to add another goal to his personal tally.

Making it clear that "I'm always looking for the next goal", Kylian Mbappé makes it clear that he has no doubts about his scoring performance. The change the Bondy striker has experienced in recent weeks is almost unbelievable: he has stood out as one of Carlo Ancelotti's best pupils. Even in the heavy defeat in the Spanish Super Cup final.

His mentality would have also undergone the corresponding metamorphosis. His latest appearance suggests that he is now a much more determined Kylian Mbappé, ready to help Real Madrid in every moment and in every way he can. The pressure of wearing the white jersey is now a thing of the past.
