⚔️ Mbappé, Vinicius’s best ally against the whistles at the Bernabéu | OneFootball

Kylian Mbappé appeared at the press conference before the match against Monaco with a sincere and direct speech. The French star did not shy away from the topic of the moment: the boos received at the Bernabéu after the setback against Levante.

Far from appearing hurt, the forward stated that he perfectly understands the fans' discontent, recalling his time as a fan before turning professional.

However, the "9" in white wanted to draw a clear red line on how that discontent is expressed. Mbappé emphasized that although Madrid fans have reasons to be upset, the responsibility for the poor results is collective.

"What I didn't like was that if they boo, it should be the whole team. No player should be singled out," he stated, calling for group unity in the face of individual criticism.

Affection for Vinicius Junior

One of the most notable points of his intervention was the strong defense of Vinicius Jr., who was one of the main targets of the fans. Mbappé was adamant in assuring that the blame is not on the Brazilian, but on all the team members. For the Frenchman, singling out a single player is a mistake, especially when it comes to a teammate he considers essential for Real Madrid's success.

Mbappé also wanted to humanize his teammate's figure, reminding that beyond being a global star, Vinicius is a person who needs the support of his environment.

"He is a human being. We have to protect him better so he is not alone against the people. He is not alone at Madrid, we are all with him," Kylian explained, highlighting the excellent personal relationship he maintains with the Brazilian.

The attacker sent an optimistic message to the white fans for the upcoming matches. Mbappé is confident that the situation will change if the team regains its level on the field. "I don't see Madrid fans being against us. They are angry, and I am sure they will return to support us," he concluded, reaffirming that the team has the personality needed to reverse the current dynamic.
