In a press conference ahead of the seventh matchday of the Champions League against RB Salzburg, Kylian Mbapp\u00e9 made some significant revelations.<\/p>\n
Currently 20th in the Champions League qualification phase, Real Madrid must win this Wednesday to stay in the race. After the hard-fought 3-2 victory against Atalanta Bergamasca on 10 December, Carlo Ancelotti\u2019s team must confirm their good form at the start of 2025. Very committed to succeeding at his new club, Kylian Mbapp\u00e9, who remains a credible candidate for the 2025 Ballon d\u2019Or, attended the press conference on Tuesday to discuss his recent developments. Outshining his coach in the pre-match Q&A session, the French star revealed what helps him perform at his best.<\/p>\n
\u201cI need the pressure\u201dKylian Mbapp\u00e9 finally reveals what he needs to shine in Madrid: \u201cI need it\u201d<\/p>\n
Much sharper in recent weeks, Kylian Mbapp\u00e9 attributes his current great form, with goals and top-class performances, to the pressure from the club\u2019s supporters. \u201cI need the pressure of feeling that you always have to perform. It\u2019s normal for people to boo. If you play for Madrid, you must win every game and make sure all Madridistas are happy,\u201d said the top scorer for Real Madrid this season (18 goals).<\/p>\n
Highly anticipated at his new club, the France captain promises goals and performances to meet the expectations. Contrary to some Spanish football observers who criticised his shyness earlier in the season, Mbapp\u00e9 clarified the situation. \u201cI\u2019m not shy, but when you join a team like Real Madrid, which has won everything, has won the Champions League, I can\u2019t come here on the first day and say, \u2018Hey, pass me the ball, this is my team, and my goal is to score as many goals as possible.\u2019\u201d A solid clarification.Having now come out of his adaptation period, KM9 can truly bring offensive success to Real Madrid in the second half of the season. With the Champions League, which he has never won, Mbapp\u00e9 will do everything in his power to go far in the competition this season. He also has great confidence in his teammates. \u201cI trust in my game, in the team\u2019s game, and in all the Real Madrid supporters who will be with us tomorrow (against Salzburg).\u201d The appointment is set!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
