Valdano was Right about Mbappé: Phrase that Went Unnoticed and is Now a Reality

One of the most remembered legends by all of Madrid is the Argentine, Jorge Valdano. Achieving several successes with the Meringue team, the former player knows the club's structure perfectly. Due to this, and in light of the criticism Mbappé received, the former striker offered some words that are now a reality.

"Of all the problems Madrid has, Mbappé's is the least. He's a star player and is at the peak of his career." Offering these words to defend the Frenchman, time has proven Valdano completely right. Despite the bad streak Mbappé went through at the club, the Frenchman is currently one of the best players on the team.

This demonstrates Valdano's intelligence but, above all, the confidence he always had in the French striker. Knowing Mbappé's level perfectly, Valdano knew it was only a matter of time before he began to unleash all his potential.

Valdano's faith

Arriving last summer at Real Madrid after a long wait, Mbappé has managed to be the forward the team was looking for. Despite the mistakes, a clear lack of confidence, and more, the 26-year-old striker managed to overcome each and every one of them. The 16 goals and 4 assists he has achieved this season demonstrate his excellent level.

However, the Frenchman went through a very bad time a few months ago, being the target of several criticisms. Suffering doubts and questions from thousands of fans and sports experts, Valdano was one of the few who always believed in him.

Given his experience at Real Madrid, the Argentine knows the type of pressure a player has when part of the merengue team. Even so, Valdano was adamant in making it clear that the club's problems had nothing to do with the French striker.

The real problems

With Mbappé showing his great level, Real Madrid has managed to see the real problems it faces. With several matches still ahead, the club has time to solve these issues with the help of its star striker.
