In recent weeks, there has been increasing pressure in Spain for Kylian Mbappé (27 years old) to leave Real Madrid. Over 50 million people have signed a petition asking for his departure from the club. Former Real Madrid player Wesley Sneijder defended Mbappé in an interview with Hard Rock Bet.
“We are all sheep. If one person goes, the others automatically follow. Some probably don’t even know what they are signing. But in the end, he has still been very important for the team. He has scored many goals and there was a period when he carried Real Madrid, especially when there were injuries and issues with Vinícius Júnior; he was always there. At one point, they made a mistake with his knee. He was not in good shape during that period. From my own experience, when you are not at 100%, you cannot perform at the highest level. Especially at Real Madrid, with all the pressure, it is extremely intense and very difficult… You have to be there for the team. But at the same time, I think he remains one of the best attackers in the world. If there is a coach capable of managing this, then this kind of situation probably wouldn’t happen. So, it’s not just his fault, it’s also the fault of the entire environment of Real Madrid,” said Sneijder.
