Florentino Has Reprimanded Mbappé for His Attitude: “Kylian, You Have To...'

The player has received a warning from the club, which has been reflected in his performance

No one doubts that this summer transfer was Kylian Mbappé. The French star finally arrived at Real Madrid after a seven years of waiting. PSG had vetoed his arrival at Santiago Bernabéu on several occasions.

The truth is that criticism is being very intense toward the '9', but the statistics serve to put things in their place. Mbappé has 12 goals and two assists in 22 games, figures that indicate that his average is 0.55 goals per game. He surpasses Karim Benzema.

However, Mbappé has been the subject of an unprecedented campaign. A strategy, of course, foreign to Madrid, since the player, as we have seen, has the full support of the fans.

A campaign in which, in addition, the psychological aspect could have had some relevance. In this sense, it is worth highlighting the accusation of an alleged rape that Kylian would have committed in Sweden. On Thursday, the case was closed due to lack of evidence.

A smokescreen that the player himself had already dropped weeks ago . Curiously, the news came out when the striker was in the process of filing a complaint against PSG, from whom he is claiming 55 million for unpaid debts. The French LFP's Joint Appeals Committee has finally confirmed this sanction.

Florentino acts

Mbappé, who has taken a while to acclimatise to Madrid, is believed to have received a warning from Florentino Pérez to change the course of the striker's career in the team.

'Kylian Mbappé has had a hard time getting used to Madrid, but now he is a different person. He was given a touch because of the low profile and humility with which he arrived,' Eduardo Inda said on 'El Chiringuito de Jugones'.

"They told him to be more like Cristiano Ronaldo, that if he gets the chance he should try and have a higher profile," said the director of 'OkDiario'.

'Mbappé has many virtues, he is a good guy and a good person. He has been well received in the locker room, but at Real Madrid they have told him to bring out his killer instinct,' explained Inda, always with good information about Madrid.

Injury

Madrid's last game left Mbappé injured, whose medical tests carried out on Thursday confirmed the extent of what he had. Madrid confirmed that he suffers from an injury to the thigh of his left leg.

The player will miss this Saturday's match against Rayo Vallecano (9pm). Ancelotti has indicated that he will travel to Qatar to play in the Intercontinental Cup final (18 December).
