The reason Kylian Mbappe failed to satisfy former Real Madrid youth team coach Ruben de la Red during his trial period at the Royal Spanish team was disclosed.

Why did Real Madrid pass up the chance to get Kylian Mbappe for nothing?

At the age of thirteen, Kylian Mbappe was invited up for a trial at Real Madrid after being presented by legendary player Zinedine Zidane. The Spanish Royal Club, however, decided not to sign a contract with him at that time. They now have to shell out a hefty sum of money to sign the French player again on a free transfer and elevate him to the position of highest paid member of the squad.

Coach Alberto De la Red talked about Mbappe’s past after having a close eye on the teenager during his trial. De la Red claims that Mbappe was simply a little, thin boy at the time. Because of mounting pressure, many sportsmen with comparable physiques frequently are unable to pursue a professional career. With Mbappe, though, things are entirely different.

When Mbappe’s previous trial was brought up in an interview with AS, De la Red remarked, “People keep asking me about this.” In Valdebebas, he is just like every other child who attends practice. Occasionally, certain players will show up for tryouts. Take a look at how far he’s come!

Because Zidane knew him, he brought him here. Zidane desires to examine Mbappe’s abilities. He is quick and skilled at dribbling. Mbappe was physically small and quite slender at the time. He’s still developing, and it’s hard to tell whether you can make it in the professional football league when you’re only 12 or 13 years old. Many athletes, including Mbappe, were unable to follow their passion.”

De la Red said, “It’s him and everyone will be surprised,” in response to the question of whether he anticipated Mbappe to flourish like he has. Ultimately, history teaches us that not many people are able to reach the highest levels of professional success. And at Mbappe’s level, you should expect a lengthy path requiring both hard effort and luck.”

Mbappe and the French squad will be at EURO 2024 this week. They will each play Poland, the Netherlands, and Austria. Undoubtedly, Mbappe wants to make even more of an impression in Germany following his World Cup victory.
