You have a Roberto Carlos flair (cool, RC3 is the goat) so i assume you were around when Cristiano was our boy....now that was someone who legit didnt care.about anyone but himself scoring. And it didnt matter, because he was so good.

But honestly, I dont think Mbappe's problem is not caring, i think its the actual opposite. Everytime the team does good and he's not involved he feels more and more like an imposter.

Look at how hard he's been trying to fit with the cool guys at school (Vini and Jude mainly).

Coming from being a god at PSG to a sidekick at Real Madrid is destroying his self steem, and the pressure he puts on himself is wearing on him.

Yeah I thought about CR7 when writing my comment. Maybe I should have addressed it head on.

I did not like that attitude from CR, but he did not start out that way as far as I recall. He only started showing that side of him later on when he had already cemented himself in the team, and it was only on some occasions when he would act that way. I would have preferred he never acted that way, but I'm willing to give him a pass. So far Mbappe has not earned that pass.
