Mourinho demands greater discretion from Mbappé after discomfort at Real Madrid

José Mourinho met with Kylian Mbappé at the Real Madrid training centre and asked him for greater discretion, after the attitude of the forward began to cause discomfort among the members of the club. The conversation took place on Monday morning, shortly after the end of the international break, and reflects the growing concern of the board.

The attitude of Kylian Mbappé has been causing discomfort within Real Madrid. In recent weeks, the forward has taken part in several interviews and statements, especially those related to the Ballon d'Or.

After the break for the national teams, Mbappé returned to the club and already met with José Mourinho. The Portuguese coach addressed the matter personally, asking the forward for greater discretion.

The newspaper L’Équipe revealed that Mourinho asked the Frenchman to be more careful with his words, appealing to reserve and focus. The communication of the player and the influence of the public‑relations team of the player have been the subject of internal challenge.

Availability and physical condition

Mbappé was injured during the training camp in France, but he is fit to take the field for Real Madrid. The club counts on the availability of the forward for the upcoming commitments.

At 27 years old, the striker already has eight goals and three assists in eight games for the Merengues this season. These numbers demonstrate the effectiveness of the player despite the controversies.

The growing irritation of Real Madrid with the communication management of Mbappé was highlighted in a tweet from CentreGoals, which underscored the need for greater discretion. The episode shows how media discipline can influence the internal harmony of an elite club.
