Real Madrid's Locker Room is All about Mbappé, It's Not His Mistakes That are Worrying

The poor performance of the French footballer sparks the first rumors from the group of players

Real Madrid's defeat at San Mamés has once again put several members of the Real Madrid locker room in the spotlight. One of the most singled out players , as happened in the defeats against FC Barcelona, AC Milan and Liverpool, is Kylian Mbappé . The striker from Bondy once again missed a key penalty for the clash in Bilbao.

The talk of another great missed opportunity to take over the team continues to fuel rumors about his problems , for which there seems to be no solution at the moment. The coaching staff led by Carlo Ancelotti continues to work on it although they haven't been successful so far.

The information published by 'Relevo' reveals that it is not only the Madrid coaches who are starting to get involved with what is happening to Kylian Mbappé. This digital newspaper comments that the concern in Santiago Bernabéu locker room is increasingly noticeable due to his repeated mistakes at the most unexpected moments this season. The confidence of the '9' Merengue is at rock bottom and his teammates don't like that .

That's why they have started a sort of 'conspiracy' to help the Bondy striker overcome all the bad feelings and limitations that seem to affect him since he arrived at the white club. The objective is to do so in the remaining matches for the month of December , a unique time in every sense.

You Will Need a Lot of Help

Because Real Madrid will face very high-level rivals in big stadiums both in Spain and Europe. It would be a 'blow to the table' to see the best Kylian Mbappé re-emerge, 'pushed' by his teammates , in key matches for the fight for the top of the League.

Or in must-win matches if Real Madrid want to fight for a place in the knockout stages of the new Champions League format. The motivation of the Real Madrid players will be essential for Kylian Mbappé to change the poor dynamics he has shown to date.

Because that will directly affect his performance and the performance of the team . With the injury of Vinícius Jr., the team has been left without its leader: many expected Mbappé to assume that responsibility. The absence of the French striker has caused Jude Bellingham to take on that role , at least until the '7' green-yellow returns.

Kylian Mbappé seems much more comfortable in a secondary role that doesn't benefit him at all . Nor does it benefit Real Madrid, always on the lookout and ready to expand Santiago Bernabéu's trophy cabinet . Many hope that the new attempts at change will finally bear fruit and unlock the true Mbappé.
