French media: "Mbappe is having mental problems"

(Dan Tri) - French newspaper L'Equipe pointed out evidence that Kylian Mbappe is having mental problems that have caused his performance to decline recently while playing for Real Madrid.

Mbappe left Paris Saint Germain and joined Real Madrid on a free transfer in July. His debut in front of more than 80,000 spectators at the Bernabeu stadium led many to expect the French striker could become the next Cristiano Ronaldo for Los Blancos.

However, Mbappe's start at Real Madrid has not been as expected. From October until now, the striker born in 1998 has continuously failed to score, causing him to be heavily criticized. Mbappe has not scored any goals in the last 4 matches and in the last 7 matches, he has only scored 1 goal for Real Madrid.

Mbappe seems to be losing his inspiration to play football. He often appears unhappy and always waves his hands to show his dissatisfaction when opportunities are missed or teammates do not pass the ball.

L'Equipe quickly found the problem when interviewing many of Mbappe's close friends and received the same answer: "You can think whatever you want, but Mbappe has had mental problems in recent months. This problem cannot be solved immediately but needs to be solved slowly.

Mbappe himself was also aware of the seriousness of the problem and sought relevant experts to find a treatment solution."

The French newspaper also pointed out that, in addition to the pressure to score goals when playing, Mbappe also had problems in his personal life when he was involved in a non-sporting scandal in Sweden. Pressure from the media and public opinion also made this striker increasingly disoriented when playing football.

At present, statistics show that after 16 matches this season for Real Madrid, Mbappe has only scored 8 goals and contributed 2 assists. The above numbers are not too negative but also cannot meet the expectations of fans for him.
