Kylian Mbappe is feeling positive about his new journey with Real Madrid. Speaking while on duty with the French national team, the star forward shared his enthusiasm for the season ahead, believing his new club has all the ingredients for success.
🌟 A Fresh Start and High Hopes
Mbappe expressed his delight at starting the new season, highlighting his strong motivation. He feels that this year holds great potential for his club, his country, and himself. “I’ve come here with a lot of enthusiasm,” he said. “It’s a great year for my club, my national team, and for me. There’s everything necessary to do great things.”
🗓️ The Demanding Football Calendar
The conversation also turned to the packed football schedule. Mbappe recalled health issues from the previous season and acknowledged the ongoing debate about whether players are playing too much. He understands the public’s perspective, noting the common argument that high salaries mean players should simply play. “The answer is always that we earn a lot of money, ‘play,’ and that’s why we play,” he remarked. “I understand people on their sofas who want to watch a lot of games.”
🔋 It’s About Recovery, Not Just Games
However, Mbappe clarified that the main issue isn’t the number of matches but the lack of sufficient recovery time. He pointed out the short breaks between competitions, which can affect players’ performance and health. “It’s not a question of games, but more of recovery,” he explained. “I saw teams returning to training when we were still in the Club World Cup.” He believes that with proper rest, players can maintain their peak condition.
