The Al Hilal player sent a message to his compatriots about his experience of playing with the Frenchman.
After winning the last UEFA Champions League, Real Madrid has strengthened for the current season with the signing of Kylian Mbappé, who signed a long-term contract after leaving PSG with his transfer in his possession, and who generated great expectations among the fans, due to the forward line that he could form alongside Vinícius Jr and Rodrygo .
Months after the Frenchman’s arrival at Merengue , where he already won the 2024 European Super Cup and was able to score his first goals, it came to light that Neymar , Mbappe ‘s former teammate at PSG , sent a message to Vini and the rest of the Brazilians in the Spanish squad to warn them about their new teammate.
As reported by journalist Cyril Hanouna on French radio Europe 1, Neymar sent a message to a WhatsApp group he has with his Brazilian teammates talking about Mbappé , telling them that “it was catastrophic, it was hell to play with him.”
Within this group, not only Vinícius received this message, but also others such as Rodrygo Goes and Eder Militao , who also shared a squad in the Verdeamarelha with Neymar and who are now aware of the Frenchman’s particular way of being, which generated the anger of the Brazilian.
This conflict between the Brazilian with a past in Barcelona and the Monaco player is due to a clash of egos while both played for PSG , as both wanted to be the team’s star player. So much so that they got into fights on several occasions to execute set pieces, and Mbappé even annoyed Neymar by not giving him a simple pass two years ago.
So far, since the Frenchman’s arrival at Real Madrid , there have been no problems with his teammates, and the 25-year-old striker himself spoke to the media about possible fights over penalty kicks, stating that he does not want to force things so as not to have problems.
Mbappé spoke about how they choose the penalty taker at Real Madrid
Accustomed to being the one in charge of finishing off penalties at PSG , Mbappé found himself with other designated kickers at Real Madrid , although he already had the chance to take one, since Vinícius gave it to him. In this context, the Frenchman spoke about how they define the finisher alongside the Brazilian in order to avoid problems.
“It’s a matter of communication, Vini takes the first shot and I take the second. The coach gives us both freedom and we have to be intelligent to see how the game is going. As I said on the first day in my presentation, I don’t want to force things and get here and get the ball, I want everything to happen naturally. The penalties are something we’re going to do naturally,” he commented on the matter.
