This Wednesday evening, Real Madrid hosts RB Salzburg during the 7th day of the Champions League. Back in the forefront, Kylian Mbappé presented himself at a press conference yesterday.
22nd in the Champions League standings, Real Madrid hosts RB Salzburg this Wednesday evening at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium. Facing the Austrians, the Merengue intend to win and validate qualification for the round of 16, at least. For this, Carlo Ancelotti will be able to rely on his offensive stars Vinicius, Rodrygo, Jude Bellingham and above all Kylian Mbappé. Author of a double against Las Palmas last weekend (4-1), the Frenchman was congratulated by his coach, but also by the Spanish press. Present at a press conference this Tuesday, the attacker returned to his long adaptation: “I think, I think a lot on the pitch. It shows. To adapt, I thought a lot and when you think on the pitch, you play badly” before clarifying his management of criticism of his game and developing what he has changed in his game to be more efficient: “I’m very calm. It’s normal to be criticized if you play badly. You just have to concentrate and do everything to make the wheel turn. And now that’s the case. It’s mental. I just told myself that I need to do more. I didn’t come here to play badly. We must always play well real Madrid. I need this pressure, to always do better. The public whistling is normal. You lose a final. We want to make the fans happy. We also had difficult moments against Celta and Las Palmas but we reacted well.”
“A lot of respect for Neymar”
Recently, Neymar had accused Kylian Mbappé of having become “a little jealous” upon the arrival of Lionel Messi at Paris Saint-Germain, on Romario TV, the show of the 1994 world champion. This Tuesday, the Frenchman did not fail to react to the words of his ex-Brazilian teammate and to put an end to the controversy. “I am very focused on what I do here in Madrid. I have a lot of respect for Neymar. I could have talked about him several times, but I want to remember the positive, a unique player in the history of football and all the moments we spent in Paris.” declared the Madrid number 9 before concluding: “Now that I’m in Madrid, I want to enjoy Madrid and wish good luck to Neymar, his family and his friends“.
Cristiano Ronaldo in the viewfinder
Author of 18 goals since the start of the season in the Merengue jersey, Kylian Mbappé has a legend of the Madrid club in his sights: Cristiano Ronaldo. The Frenchman is only nine points behind the Portuguese who scored 27 goals in 30 games during his first season. However, there is still a long way to go for the native of Bondy before matching the performances of the Al-Nassr player, author of 450 goals in 438 matches with Real Madrid.
