Real Madrid coach Xabi Alonso said Tuesday French superstar Kylian Mbappe has been vital to the team for more than just his prolific goals scoring.
Alonso stated this ahead of the team’s La Liga clash against Athletic Bilbao tonight.
Speaking during his news conference, Alonso stated that the France international has shown quality of good leadership in the team.
“He’s been very good individually, helping the team a lot.
“It’s not just about goals for Kylian, which in the end is the most important thing, but he does other hugely fundamental things like leadership, influence, helping his teammates, and that’s so important day to day.
“The conversations are very positive, in a good tone, wanting to improve the results and that’s what we’ve spoken about,” said Alonso, who conceded Madrid have been erratic this season.
“I think we’ve lacked consistency in our game, and we want to play better in the next one,” continued the coach.
“We’ve lost a bit of quality in our play, we’ve lost a little bit of energy.”
