Real Madrid Confidencial How much does Mbappé weigh? Xabi Alonso finally reveals the big mystery
The Tolosarra acknowledged the change that has taken place with him this summer
Real Madrid has started the season by achieving two victories in its first two matches. Despite the short preseason that the Madridists have had, they have managed to secure all 6 points. Without a doubt, this is great news for Xabi Alonso, who is also being supported by other great news.
One of them is the high level that Mbappé is showing, being the great leader of the team at this moment. Against Osasuna, he scored the winning goal and added two more against Oviedo. 3 goals in two matches for the Frenchman, who is also showing great physical form.
Xabi Alonso spoke about him and solved one of the great mysteries surrounding the Frenchman and his weight. At the end of the match, he pointed out that Mbappé "has regained the 9 lbs. (4 kilos) he lost". Now he is back in his best shape, and he also looks very fit.
It should be remembered that he missed many matches of the Club World Cup due to gastroenteritis. He even had to be admitted to a hospital, and when he returned, he was far from his optimal form. After the holidays and with the preseason, he has regained his best version.
Xabi Alonso wants to get the most out of Mbappé
Since his arrival, Xabi Alonso has made it clear that with him, no one has a guaranteed starting spot. Each footballer's training and performances will speak for them, and he hasn't disappointed. Against Oviedo, he sent Vinícius to the bench after a poor match against Osasuna in the first round.
Meanwhile, he kept boosting Mbappé, about whom he also showered with praise at the press conference. "He feels good, you can tell, he's motivated, connected with the team, influencing the game. I loved how he changed positions, pressed, and even defended," the Tolosa native acknowledged.
For now, he is the '9' that Xabi has chosen, leaving the left for Vini or Rodrygo. The Frenchman is responding with goals, 3 in the first 2 matches, and with leadership on the field. He really likes what he sees and will keep betting on him.
