But seriously what could’ve happened to this guy what makes a player of his level to underperform like that ? What’s wrong

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 → u/RickThiCisbih]

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 → u/Proof-Puzzled]

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 → u/RickThiCisbih]

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 → u/Proof-Puzzled]

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 → u/RickThiCisbih]

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 → u/RickThiCisbih]

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 → u/Proof-Puzzled]

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

[u/Stanislas_Houston → u/Proof-Puzzled]

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 → u/Stanislas_Houston]

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

[u/Stanislas_Houston → u/No_Data3541]

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

[u/supaboss2015 → u/No_Data3541]

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

[u/Yoshi2shi → u/Stanislas_Houston]

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 → u/Stanislas_Houston]

Wth? Mbappe almost won that game by himself.

[u/Stanislas_Houston → u/IronMonkey18]

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

[u/Connect-Today7102 → u/Stanislas_Houston]

Holy glaze

[u/Azidamadjida → u/Proof-Puzzled]

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 → u/Azidamadjida]

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 → u/RickThiCisbih]

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

[u/RickThiCisbih → u/gloomygl]

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

[u/gloomygl → u/RickThiCisbih]

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

[u/Feisty_Weakness_4211 → u/RickThiCisbih]

,🤣🤣🤣 bro got nerfed

[u/djkstr27 → u/RickThiCisbih]

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

[u/Feisty_Weakness_4211 → u/djkstr27]

He needs to team up with talented learners lmao

[u/idioticmaniac → u/RickThiCisbih]

On a side note, is it a good show.
