Zidane Was Amazed by Mbappé’s Hat-Trick at the Bernabéu: He’s Taking Him to His New Team

Zinedine Zidane has always been a great admirer of Kylian Mbappé. He would have liked to coach him at Real Madrid, but he understood Mbappé’s decision to join Paris Saint-Germain.

Zidane watched the game last night and was in awe of Mbappé’s performance. In fact, Zidane is clear that, in his new adventure with the French national team, which will begin after next year’s World Cup, Mbappé will play a central role. Real Madrid’s number 9 has not been called up for the last two French national team squads, but the French coach has confirmed that Mbappé will be in the March roster.

The French captain is eager to play for his country again and show that he is the best player in the world. That is the idea in his mind and his goal for the coming years, but his priority is winning collective trophies. Ultimately, that is what elevates the career of an elite footballer.

“I Want to Make History Here”
“I want to make history here. Write my story at Real Madrid… Am I focused on being the top scorer? I’m grateful to Vinícius and Rodrygo, of course. But as I’ve said, I came here to win titles. I’ve been the top scorer many times. Last year, I was the top scorer in the Champions League. Did I win the Champions League? No. But I don’t care about winning the top scorer title. If I win it, great, but I want to win titles, that’s the most important thing,” Mbappé said after the match, confirming his true challenge.

Step by Step
So far, he has won the UEFA Super Cup and the Intercontinental Cup, scoring in both finals. The team can still win La Liga, the Copa del Rey, and the Champions League. At the start of the season, no one was betting on Real Madrid, with many writing them off in every competition. However, they are still alive.

They have managed to withstand a lengthy bad streak, which speaks volumes about this team’s resilience in difficult times. They are used to suffering and bouncing back from such situations, and they could do it again this season. Ancelotti has never lost faith in his players.

With Caution
It’s crucial that Madrid doesn’t drop their intensity at any point. One of the keys to the team’s good performances in recent matches is that they are playing as a team, putting aside individualism. And not just in attack, but also in defense. The attackers are helping a lot in defending against opponents’ attacks.

By positioning themselves better on the field, the team is performing at a much higher level. Additionally, it’s worth noting that most of the players are in peak physical condition.
