Petit: Mbappe s goal for Real Madrid is the Champions League and the Golden Balls, and he will be under greater pressure in the new season

August 26: Former French international Petit talked about Mbappe's situation at Real Madrid in the column of "As". Petit commented more modestly on the responsibility of the French star in Real Madrid's bad season, but also emphasized that the pressure he will be under in the new season will be greater.

Petit said: "Last season, Paris Saint-Germain finally won the Champions League for the first time in club history. At that time, everyone in Paris (including management and fans) said that since Mbappe left the team, the club finally had a real team and had a soul. All players played for each other, and there were no more selfish players on the court."

" From a recent perspective, it seems that it was the right decision to let Mbappe run away, after all, he himself wanted to go to Real Madrid. I don't want to say It's too simplistic, because despite the many problems Real Madrid had last season, I still think Mbappe played well. He scored a lot of goals. But unfortunately, some key players were absent, and the team was too injured, especially in the midfield. When Kroos was out, Modric was no longer the player he used to, and with the loss of some defenders, everything became more complicated. "

" In addition, the self-fight between Rodrigo, Vinicius, Bellingham and Mbappe also made the situation worse. It was a transitional season for Real Madrid. So, all the attention was focused on Mbappe. People chose the simplest way to say: 'If we didn't play a great season, it was because Mbappe left Paris and Paris won the Champions League.' The truth may be somewhere in between. '

' But today, Mbappe is under more pressure than last season. Don't forget that when he left Paris, he was going through a complicated period off the court. He and The club is in legal disputes over economic issues; he has been accused of many off-court events. There are many things in his mind. This is why this season is very important to him. He knows that he must do better than last year. He came to Real Madrid with a goal: to win the Champions League and the Ballon d'Or. But the result is that Paris won the Champions League in front of him. The outside world is looking forward to him now, especially this is a season before the World Cup. Both in Real Madrid and the French national team, the pressure will be very high. "
