Kylian Mbappe in Talks with Real Madrid Leaders

Real Madrid’s Kylian Mbappe Taking Steps to Address Underwhelming Performance

Real Madrid’s star addition this summer, Kylian Mbappe, has faced criticism for his underwhelming performance so far. However, after a second penalty miss in eight days against Athletic Club, the French forward is making efforts to improve.

Mbappe’s Talks with Dressing Room Leaders

According to reports from Diario AS, Mbappe held individual talks with some of the leaders in the dressing room after the defeat to Athletic. He acknowledged that he had not been performing at his best and publicly stated on social media that he would show his true capabilities. Mbappe expressed his determination to react and become the leader of the Real Madrid project.

Positive Reception from Real Madrid Hierarchy and Dressing Room

Real Madrid’s hierarchy has welcomed Mbappe’s change in attitude, believing that this is the player they expected when he joined in the summer. The dressing room is also pleased with Mbappe’s new approach and is eager to follow his lead, as his improved attitude has provided a boost to the team.

Changing Perceptions of Mbappe

Aside from his playing and finishing abilities, local press has criticized Mbappe for his perceived lack of personality on the pitch and his seeming aloofness. If Mbappe can change this perception and show more spark, it could be a significant turning point for Real Madrid. However, it will be crucial for his off-the-ball work to also demonstrate this change in attitude and translate into improved performances on the field.
