Martin Vazquez: “Saying no to Madrid will have a cost for Mbappe”
The situation
Rafael Martin Vazquez, a former Real Madrid player, said that Carlo Ancelotti’s team “couldn’t ask for more” and said that having said no to the white team “will have a cost in the future” for the Frenchman Kylian Mbappe. Martín Vázquez, trained at Real Madrid and who played for the first team between 1983 and 1990 and 1992 and 1995, analyzed the last season played by the white team, in which they won the League, the Spanish Super Cup and the Champions League. “Real Madrid is always obliged to win and win. When you achieve the two most important titles in one season, you can’t ask for more and more when at first you didn’t start with a certain favoritism,” Martín Vázquez told, after attending the presentation of the VIII Solidarity Golf Tournament organized by the Association of Ex-Real Madrid Soccer Players. The success of this season has been the team, the squad, the staff, the coaching staff, who have gone in the same direction and have been very united. That ultimately gives you success,” he confessed. The former Real Madrid player also spoke about the frustrated signing of Kylian Mbappé, who, when his agreement with president Florentino Pérez was practically closed, renewed with PSG until 2025. “One thing is what one can think on the outside about Mbappé, without having information, but it is difficult to analyze it well. It seemed that everything was done but in the end it did not materialize. Regardless of the player you are or how important you are, say no. It will have a cost for Real Madrid and in the future it will take its toll,” he concluded.
Morientes: “We won’t miss Mbappe”
For his part, former Madrid striker Fernando Morientes told EFE that this past season he enjoyed “a lot” watching the team led by Carlo Ancelotti on television, who “can’t ask for more of his successes.” Morientes, who played for Real Madrid between 1997 and 2005, won eleven titles with the white team during his time as a footballer. “At Real Madrid, the word unbeatable doesn’t exist because you always want more. The season has been fantastic and you don’t have to settle for that. You have to appreciate it, but you always want more. I’ve enjoyed watching this team led by Carlo Ancelotti and we’ve had a great time ,” said Morientes.
