EBN- Some believe that Kylian Mbappe has become a rotten apple at Real Madrid this season, and that the French star’s arrogance is harming the team inside the locker room.
Real Madrid waited years and years to sign the former Paris Saint-Germain striker. After the dream came true last summer, things were no longer going well for the team.
Real Madrid suffered two consecutive defeats at home against Barcelona in the La Liga Clasico 4-0 and against Milan 3-1 in the Champions League, reducing its chances of defending the two titles.
Former Paris Saint-Germain player and current match analyst Jerome Rothen pointed to his compatriot Mbappe’s involvement in the problem of unbalancing coach Carlo Ancelotti’s team.
Disappearance of the collective system
“Mbappé was the star of the summer, and Real Madrid won everything last season thanks to a collective system and players who gave everything on the pitch, unfortunately I have the impression that all of that has disappeared now,” said Roten.
“I think Kylian’s presence ruined everything, his arrival frustrated some, other players’ positions changed or others did not find a chance to play,” he added.
Of course there is a period of adaptation, but when you are among the best players in the world, adaptation must happen quickly. We are in November and Real Madrid are in decline. Mbappe bears responsibility for that. I see his movements going from bad to worse in the center forward position. He does things that are completely opposite to what is required.”
He continued: “This is reflected inside the locker room. Unfortunately, he is primarily responsible for the poor start to Real Madrid’s season.
