Kylian Mbapp\u00e9 was among the players disappointed by Xabi Alonso’s dismissal, noting that the team\u2019s results and overall atmosphere fell far short of expectations. However, the French striker maintained his appreciation for his relationship with the Basque coach, praising the trust Alonso placed in him from day one.<\/p>\n
Mbapp\u00e9 delivered his best performances under Alonso, particularly after the initial adaptation period in La Liga, during which he faced more criticism than expected. According to Le Parisien, the Frenchman believes Florentino P\u00e9rez did not provide the former coach with sufficient support and patience, leaving him doubtful about the team\u2019s future under \u00c1lvaro Arbeloa.<\/p>\n
Mbapp\u00e9 has serious doubts about Arbeloa’s ability to handle the intense pressure at the Santiago Bernab\u00e9u, preferring a coach with a proven track record of success. At the same time, the French striker is not in favor of J\u00fcrgen Klopp\u2019s potential arrival, citing Klopp\u2019s final years at Liverpool as mediocre, his strained relationships with players, his lack of managerial activity since leaving Anfield, and potential language barriers that could hinder communication with Real Madrid\u2019s stars.<\/p>\n
Above all, Mbapp\u00e9 clearly favors working under Zinedine Zidane, whom he sees as the ideal solution for the club. Zidane has previously taken charge of Real Madrid in similar circumstances, stepping in mid-season in 2015 and 2019. Mbapp\u00e9 believes Zidane\u2019s experience and leadership would help the club return to the right path, even if his tenure is temporary, lasting only until the end of the current season on June 30.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
