, on May 5th, in the face of the recent violent storm of public opinion, the team of French star Mbappé officially stood up to defend him. Previously, Mbappe went to Sardinia to relax while he was recovering from injury. Now he was caught in the whirlpool of public opinion. In response, his team made a statement in response, claiming that the player's recovery plan was completely under the so-called "strict supervision" of Real Madrid.
On April 24, the French captain injured the back of his left thigh and was sidelined for many days. However, this Sunday, as the countdown to the "El Clasico" against Barcelona approached, Mbappe was photographed on vacation in Sardinia. This behavior caused great dissatisfaction among some Real Madrid fans, who felt that he lacked commitment to the club and professionalism at critical times.
In response to this situation, relevant people around Mbappe issued a statement to clarify this situation on Tuesday, May 5, with the help of Agence France-Presse, also known as AFP. The statement pointed out that the trip took place during the rest day arranged by the club for the injured, including Courtois and Guler.
In its statement, Mbappe's team emphasized that some of the criticism stemmed from the over-interpretation of "recovery period management". This situation is seriously inconsistent with the actual situation. Mbappe does his best for the benefit of the collective every day, and every step of his recovery process strictly follows the arrangements given by the club.
The team claimed that the "leisure" seen by the outside world is only part of the scientific recovery plan, which does not mean that players are slacking off in training and recovery.
Regarding this matter, Real Madrid coach Arbeloa expressed a more balanced view in an interview on Sunday. He first said that how players arrange their personal rest time is their own freedom, and I have no right to interfere.
But then, Arbeloa suddenly changed his tone, highlighting Real Madrid's traditional values. He said: "Real Madrid has never succeeded by playing in a tuxedo. The foundation of the club is those players who fight on the court until they are covered in sweat and dirt, and are willing to make sacrifices and contributions for the team." These words were interpreted by many observers as an implicit reference to Mbappe's recent lack of pressure on the court and the endless news off the court.
