Real Madrid turns to its former player and coach, Frenchman Zinedine Zidane, in an effort to resolve the struggles of his compatriot Kylian Mbapp\u00e9, who has not lived up to expectations in his first season at the Santiago Bernab\u00e9u.<\/p>\n
Criticism of Mbapp\u00e9 has intensified following his disappointing performance at Anfield, where he missed a penalty in his team’s 2-0 loss in the fifth round of the Champions League.
\nThe Catalan newspaper “Sport” reported that Real Madrid reached out to Zidane to help find a solution for Mbapp\u00e9’s situation, as his performance has declined in his first season away from Paris Saint-Germain, where he had previously shone.<\/p>\n
The newspaper explained that Zidane shares a close relationship with Mbapp\u00e9, having been the first to recommend his move to Real Madrid. The club believes that a message from Zidane could have a significant impact on the French forward.
\nReal Madrid has asked Zidane to speak with Mbapp\u00e9 and guide him in the right direction, aware that Zizou faced similar challenges in his first season at the club before becoming one of its legends.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
