They Reveal What Mbappé Told Vinícius Right before He Was Sent Off: Use...

As usual, Mestalla has been an extremely challenging stadium for Vinícius Júnior. Despite performing at a high level, Valencia's fans and players kept provoking the Real Madrid player. This led Kylian Mbappé, before the Brazilian's unjust expulsion, to say a few words to him.

"Use your head," were the words the French said to the Brazilian player. In a demonstration of his leadership, Mbappé asked his teammate to stay calm to avoid further issues. Although the expulsion couldn't be avoided, the Frenchman showed that his strong mentality has returned. 

Similarly, his words demonstrated the great relationship Mbappé has with Vinícius. Amid multiple attempts to create conflict between the two players, the Frenchman has made sure to show the opposite.

Mbappé's return

Going through a rough period just a few months ago, Mbappé has managed to regain his smile. Despite the mistakes he made in the past, the Frenchman has overcome each and every criticism against him. With 14 goals and 4 assists, the 26-year-old forward has once again demonstrated his remarkable mental strength.

This quality is something the Frenchman asked of Vinícius during their match at Mestalla, trying to prevent an expulsion. Although he agreed with his teammate's protests, Mbappé knew the ways of expressing it weren't appropriate.

This reflects the return of the best version of the Frenchman, both as a player and as a person. By keeping Vinícius away from the other players, Mbappé is showing glimpses of the leadership he had at PSG and has with the French National Team.

A natural leader

In addition to all this, Mbappé's attitude makes it clear that, after several months, the Frenchman has regained his confidence. A factor that will be crucial for Real Madrid in the upcoming matches where they will need the help of their French star. Despite seeing his goal disallowed at Mestalla, the Frenchman is ready to start his scoring streak.
