Mbappé’s Response Regarding a Real Madrid Without Vinicius Jr.: “I Came Here to…”
The French forward shares his thoughts on playing with Vinicius Jr. and his ambitions at Real Madrid.
Parisian Kylian Mbappé has been very clear in recent hours regarding Brazilian Vinicius Jr.
Kylian Mbappé is already an authoritative figure within Real Madrid, as the Parisian has earned his place with goals, but also for his personality, which is different from what many expected.
This was confirmed in an interview Mbappé gave to ‘El Objetivo’ with journalist Ana Pastor.
“It’s good here; you know what it means to play here. But I always step onto the field with enthusiasm. I always play with humility, and that’s how you should approach any club, not just Madrid,” said the French captain.
Additionally, the Madrid ‘number 9’ explained, “All the players welcomed me, they sent me messages… Ancelotti is a bit of everything. He knows when to be a father, a friend, a boss… He has made history here and wants to keep making it.”
However, that’s not all. The Frenchman also took time to discuss the ‘eternal’ debate about his position on the field.
“It’s normal, there’s debate. It doesn’t affect me. Cristiano knew how to play in all three attacking positions, and I’ve done well in all three,” the Parisian remarked.
Mbappé is Very Clear About Vinicius Jr.
One of the most talked-about topics in football has been his relationship with Vinicius Jr., a player with whom he has a great bond both on and off the pitch, despite what some might want to claim.
“I came with the idea of playing with him, I can’t imagine Madrid without Vini. We play well together, we will help Madrid,” said the Madrid ‘number 9.’
These words from Kylian Mbappé put to rest any doubts about their relationship, which will also be key to competing for all the titles at stake this season, and they also rule out the possibility of the Brazilian leaving during the summer.
Furthermore, he was very clear about the importance of the collective, stating that he prefers winning the UEFA Champions League over the Ballon d’Or.
“Winning a Champions League with the best club in the world is winning the biggest title and making history here. The Ballon d’Or is an individual title. I choose the Champions League. I want to win titles with Madrid, make an era. I used to celebrate like a child as a greeting, and it has stayed with me,” added the top scorer for Real Madrid this season.
