Relations between Alvaro Arbeloa and Kylian Mbappe at Real Madrid have cooled
Reports of serious misunderstandings within the internal atmosphere of Real Madrid are increasing. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
According to the prestigious publication COPE, the relationship between the team's head coach Alvaro Arbeloa and forward Kylian Mbappe has significantly cooled. According to the source, the previous mutual trust and closeness between the two parties has been lost.
It is even said that these relations are far from the warm ones during the Xabi Alonso era. The emergence of a certain distance between the coach and the star footballer may also have a negative impact on the overall team atmosphere.
It is quite possible that one factor leading to this situation was an incident that spread on social networks. The fact that Kylian Mbappe expressed sympathy for a 2012 photograph featuring the stars of Jose Mourinho's team — Cristiano Ronaldo and Mesut Ozil — caused much discussion.
Notably, the photograph also features current squad members Arda Guler and Mbappe himself. This circumstance is being interpreted by specialists as a sign of dissatisfaction with the team's current situation.
At the moment, reports are spreading in the press that the Real Madrid management is considering a coaching change. In particular, it is said that the option of bringing Jose Mourinho back in place of Alvaro Arbeloa is being considered.
The fact that the Portuguese specialist himself did not completely rule out such a possibility further aggravates the situation. The club's management appears ready to take decisive measures to restore discipline and unity within the team.
Nevertheless, the on-field performance presents a different picture. Kylian Mbappe in the current season has played 41 matches and managed to score 41 goals and provide 6 assists.
These figures confirm that he remains the team's main driving force. In conclusion, results at the Madrid club are not bad, but the moral atmosphere remains in question.
If the coolness between the coach and the player cannot be resolved, the likelihood of major changes at the club during the summer transfer window is very high.
