Kylian Mbappe, once hailed as a prodigy in soccer, is currently experiencing significant challenges in his career.
The talented French player, famous for his incredible speed and finishing skills, is encountering difficulties on and off the field.
Following a high-profile transfer to Real Madrid this summer, expectations were sky-high for the 25-year-old.
Supporters were excited to see him join the ranks of the ‘Galacticos,’ fulfilling a dream for many athletes. Yet, just months later, those expectations have dimmed.
Mbappe has managed to score just once in his past seven matches for Real Madrid, and he hasn’t scored for the national team since June.
This goal drought contributed to his unexpected omission from the French national squad in recent games, which has raised questions among fans and analysts.
According to reports from Bild and French media outlet L’Equipe, Mbappe is battling significant stress and emotional exhaustion.
Insiders close to him have indicated that he is currently facing serious mental health issues.
Deschamps addresses Mbappe’s situation
Didier Deschamps, the head coach of France, recently discussed Mbappe’s absence. After a goalless draw with Israel, Deschamps commented on TF1:
“He is experiencing a tough phase. Clearly, this is not the brightest chapter in his career.”
Deschamps elaborated on the physical and mental challenges Mbappe is facing, suggesting that resting him was a wise choice:
“He expressed the desire to play. But I believe it’s best for him not to be selected at this time. Everyone can go through rough patches, and he needs to recuperate.”
The Path Ahead for Kylian Mbappe
Mbappe’s abilities are unquestionable, with 48 goals in 86 matches for France, putting him in line to become the nation’s leading scorer. However, his immediate focus should be on regaining his form at Real Madrid.
The team is poised to return to La Liga, facing Leganes on November 24. All attention will be on Mbappe as he endeavors to rediscover his rhythm and prove the critics wrong.
