Kylian did not ask for a change.” “His position.”

Many players have come out of the academy and we are looking at everyone, one day they may be ready to play for Real Madrid.”

Regarding Mbappe’s lack of goals: “This happens with all strikers, as if they don’t score they feel... Frustrated, I see him excited and happy to train with his teammates. This streak will stop sooner or later. Tomorrow he will have a great match. He has great quality and he will show it sooner or later.”

And between: “He came back Ibrahim Diaz is doing very well from injury, and he took advantage of the break to play and score goals. He will be very important for us. It will help us a lot because it is a very important piece for us.”

Regarding the club’s position on the winter Mercato: “We will wait for the Seville match in order to evaluate the market (the Seville match will be the last before the opening of the contract). Winter Mercato in January).

He continued: “Mbappe worked with others during the break, and we focused on defense, with Raul Asensio and Mendy, and we tried some options in the full-back position.” Right, I don’t think Mbappe needs to work defensively.”
