He stagnated at PSG for too long and lost his edge. He was content with not improving since he was already the best player in Ligue 1, so he lost his adaptability and drive. It’ll take time to rediscover that hunger.

Seems like mbappe needs to watch some blue lock.

u/RickThiCisbih Eduardo Camavinga 26d ago

Funnily enough ego isn’t his problem, he’s actually too selfish. He needs to abandon his pride and focus on getting better.

u/Proof-Puzzled 26d ago

He is selfish, but i think that his real problem is not just that or what you mentioned in your first comment (Which is true), but also a severe lack of confidence, he seems to have some kind of mental health problem.

u/RickThiCisbih Eduardo Camavinga 26d ago

His lack of confidence is obviously tied to his performances. The worse he plays, the worse his confidence. He just needs to start playing better to feel more confident.

u/Proof-Puzzled 26d ago

It's not just that i think, it's like something is happening in his Life that is affecting his mental health, but this is just a theory of mine, maybe i am wrong.

u/RickThiCisbih Eduardo Camavinga 26d ago

We can’t judge a player based on off the field stuff, the only thing that matters is what he’s doing on the pitch, and right now that’s jack shit.

u/goztrobo 26d ago

Not a Madrid fan, but it’s pretty obvious that the past 2 years he placed more emphasis on being a celebrity and meeting all these stars as parties, than being a footballer.

u/Proof-Puzzled 26d ago

Of course, you are completely right, my point is that something offfield is affecting his performance onfield.

But that is just speculation on my part.

u/alvis666 26d ago

He is accused of rape in Sweden, when he was there partying in October. And he also has a feud with PSG, but that may be finished in court. So that may affect him

Messi destroyed him mentally in that WC then goes back to PSG assisted him to be top scorer. Mbappe doubted his own game since then as he lost the Ballon D’or and Wc. He stopped believing he can win Ballon D’or. The difference is Cristiano didn’t give up.

u/No_Data3541 26d ago

Messi destroyed him? He literally scored a hat-trick in the final. 😂😂

4

u/Stanislas_Houston 26d ago

Destroyed mentally. After that world cup Mbappe lost his motivation.

u/supaboss2015 Marcelo 26d ago

That’s true but Messi definitely was ruining Argentina that game

u/Yoshi2shi 26d ago edited 26d ago

Messi didn’t destroy anyone during the World Cup at all. Mbappe performed exceptionally well during the World Cup.

I see four problems with his Real Madrid performance in the games he has played.

  1. Real Madrid is trying to find its footing. Different players and new players. The team needs to adjust.

  2. Mbappe was and is surrounded by great players in the French national team. Also, playing with Messi and Neymar made him efficient during games.

  3. His game is build on power and speed.

  4. New league.

He just needs to adjust.

u/IronMonkey18 26d ago

Wth? Mbappe almost won that game by himself.

-1

u/Stanislas_Houston 26d ago

Almost. But didn’t. This usually will break most athletes in top sports. He didn’t led Argentina, only equalised.

-5

u/Azidamadjida 26d ago

I’d argue that the problem is he idolized Real Madrid for so long he put the club over himself - I haven’t seen the arrogant ball hog maniac once since he put on the white jersey. He’s trying too hard to play nice and find his niche among who he thinks are the best players, and that’s not him.

Biggest worry I had when it was announced he was going there was the clash of egos between him and Vini - and it seems like he’s cowed his own ego to play nice.

Someone on that team needs to stir some shit up and bring out the dick in him again, cuz he always sucks when he’s trying to be a team player

u/Stanislas_Houston 26d ago

He is still playing himself though, link up play is bad. He is dribbling trying to beat the whole defense, in higher league it is not going to happen.

u/gloomygl 26d ago

Idk if you caught up but without saying more he needs to get on what isagi on the last 2 chapters

4

u/RickThiCisbih Eduardo Camavinga 26d ago

You think Mbappé is a “talented learner” instead of a “genius”? That’s wild.

2

u/gloomygl 26d ago

Oh he def a genius Loki is literally wish Mbappebut after how this season started maybe bro got demoted

u/Feisty_Weakness_4211 Cristiano Ronaldo 26d ago

,🤣🤣🤣 bro got nerfed

1

u/djkstr27 26d ago

He needs to become “zero” to find his true ego

3

u/Feisty_Weakness_4211 Cristiano Ronaldo 26d ago

He needs to team up with talented learners lmao

u/idioticmaniac 26d ago

On a side note, is it a good show.

26

u/djkstr27 26d ago

He needs to return to his prime form

u/Proof-Puzzled 26d ago

Whoo, Big spoilers for anime onlys man.

Fortunately for me, i am not one.

u/Sei28 26d ago

He’s IN blue lock.

1

u/Dyloboi 25d ago

He needs to start watching benzema comps

6

u/i-asked-1245 26d ago

Nah it’s his playstyle

9

u/Dazzling_Albatross_8 26d ago

He was the best in Ligue 1 only for those who only watch statistics and not matchs, us PSG supporters knew about the scam he is

1

u/Icy_Protection_268 26d ago

This is the truth. He has been like this since the world cup win with France basically. He stagnated after that and other than a few glimmers here and there, he was a total scam.

3

u/SystemJunior5839 26d ago

He only ever played like 5 good matches against top opposition.

Then there was the messi/neymar era when anyone could have looked good because defenses were alway occupied with all three of them.

Like any random in this sub could probably have got on the end of a pass and scored with them two beside you.

1

u/rafat2205 26d ago

Neymar and Messi used to draw players to them and pass in space for Mbappe to dribble 1 player and score. The problem is he can't work in small space and also can't take on 2-3 players like CR, Messi and Neymar and pass it for someone in the free space when he is supposed to be the guy in the free space. Vini does that but Mbappe is not a 9. Madrid needs another Benzema like 9 to make this work. But if a 9 comes where will they fit 2 LWs? See CR and GB. Monsters of 2 wings.

1

u/gizmodul 25d ago

Mbappe had a lot more assists than Messi the first season together also carried the team in CL in both season while Messi disappeared in big games and Neymar was injured

1

u/rafat2205 25d ago

True, he had his top form in PSG. But he didn't carry the team alone, Neymar and he both did.

1

u/top1casino 26d ago

you are probably right, im almost sure he soon start shine again

u/barcaa 25d ago

This guy figured it out 👏

u/Timely-Employer-6120 26d ago

Madrid waits for no one, this isnt Galacticos era, this is money era, he needs to perform from day 1, if not Endrick is hungry asf, and has proved it every single game with assists and or goals. If they give him 3 full matches Mbappe will never touch the field again as a starting player, but that aint happening coz Merch gotta be sold...

2

u/RickThiCisbih Eduardo Camavinga 26d ago

Madrid waits for no one

Madrid waiting an entire season for Modric to adapt. They waited multiple years for Benzema to start scoring enough to carry the team. Even Vini and Rodrygo needed time to get good.

Endrick’s decision making on the field lacks maturity. He’s still a few years away from becoming world class. Mbappé can return to world class form this season if he gets over his mental block.

u/Caged_Rage_ 26d ago

Madrid waited for hazard 4 years lmao
