Too Much Wrong: Mbappe s Real Madrid partner comes to his defense

11:38am, 16 October 2025【Football】

In the past few months, Real Madrid superstar Mbappe has proved through continuous scoring that he has fully returned to his peak condition. The Frenchman does look a lot better than last season and is once again chasing individual and team glory.

He scores goals in almost every game, and his participation with and without the ball has greatly improved compared to last season, which has proven a lot.

However, in a super-rich club like Real Madrid, no one is safe. Even Mbappe, who is in the limelight, is not immune to criticism. Many fans on the Internet have accused the Frenchman of being too obsessed with organizing attacks and believe that his retracement has a negative impact on the team.

In response, Mbappe’s best partner in Real Madrid this season, Guler, stood up to fully support his teammate in an interview with L’Equipe.

"I think we have to let him play where he wants to play. He can absolutely benefit from the freedom of play that his talent can bring, which is what he deserves."

"He plays a little bit back in the middle. It is not meaningless to retreat. He has such ability and understands the requirements of the game. When he does that, it is completely up to me to fill his gap."

When Mbappe retreats, he is not only passing the ball, but also participating in the attack. What he does often goes unnoticed, yet there is absolutely nothing wrong with his dropping deep to create space for other attackers and midfielders. He did.

Ultimately, Mbappe's performance is so incredible that he is often hailed as the best player in world football today. When he appeared on the court, he naturally attracted the attention of many opponents.

These are problems that the team must work together to solve. When Mbappe is not in the penalty area, other teammates must step up. The Frenchman is still adjusting to his role as a full-time forward, and of course, there are times when he does drop too deep, but those are all learning processes. At least for now, there aren't many real complaints against him.
