Kylian Mbappé receives insightful guidance from Cristiano Ronaldo

Real Madrid supporters should back Kylian Mbappé as he starts a new chapter with the team, according to some wise words from Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Portuguese star said he was confident in Mbappé’s skill and his capacity to cheer up the Madrid supporters in an exclusive interview with El Chiringuito that will air on Monday night. Despite a difficult start to the season, Ronaldo urged the 2018 World Cup champion to excel at the Santiago Bernabéu by saying, “Take care of Kylian Mbappé, because he will give you a lot of happiness in return.”

Ronaldo also used the occasion to talk about Mbappé’s development as a player and make analogies to his own professional trajectory. After changing from a dynamic winger to a prolific center-forward, the six-time Ballon d’Or winner advised Mbappé to modify his style of play in order to reach his full potential at Real Madrid. Although it’s not his position, it’s not that he lacks skill. Playing as a striker has become second nature to me. Kylian can’t be considered a traditional striker. I would play a lot like Cristiano Ronaldo if I were him.

Mbappé’s already remarkable career may undergo an even more significant change with such a mentor at his side.
