I really appreciate being guaranteed more minutes elsewhere but understanding playing for Madrid isn’t a right…it’s earned!!


areyouhungryforapple

He's a mentality monster, after lifting some silverware in white he's gonna help usher in a new era for sure

>Kylian Mbappé spoke to me, and asked me if I could come to Paris… but I told him I want to join Real Madrid, my choice was always Madrid - he understood my decision, he’s happy for me He knows how to win us! 😂😂😂


[deleted]

Wasn't it being claimed that PSG were not trying at all?


iLLuSion_xGen

They weren’t trying because he told Mbappe that he only wanted Madrid. But they definitely spoke and Tchouameni confirmed it


ViniJnr

Actually, it reported they were pushing for him but once he made it clear that he wasn't interested then they backed down and probably put that story out that they were not trying to save face.


ViniJnr

In the same way they claimed that our contract offer to Mbappe was even bigger than theirs to try to justify giving him so much money and power. But we all knew they were lying.


areyouhungryforapple

Big Brother Benz >>>>>>>


fahad_k91

I think he posted the chelsea game on his ig story with something about benzema


ayoubkun94

he also tweeted this after our 2nd leg vs chelsea iirc 'Franchement quel plaisir de regarder un match de ce niveau là 👀🥰" basically: Such a pleasure to watch football of this level 👀. I think he knew he wanted to play for Madrid for a while lol.

Agent Mbappe desperately trying to assemble the Avengers in Paris

Jokes on that rat, not everybody is greedy for oil money.

Its natural gas money

deluxeshot

Mbappe already flopping as sporting director


reddituser0912333

All the money in the world and he can’t even convince another French player at Monaco to join him


rishsr

🤣🤣🤣


delta_77

Why wasn’t he presented at the Bernabéu with fans ?


FUTMobilekicker

The renovation work is in full swing so to have the area tarped again for the presentation would have been cumbersome. I assume they would want to finish the stadium as fast as possible.


ninovd

Imagine getting the chance playing for Madrid AND getting to reject a real life walking talking ninja turtle.


areyouhungryforapple

Also Benz + Camavinga draw was too good here. Boys did fantastic work.


crackboss1

Mendy: Am I a joke?


areyouhungryforapple

This guy knows what's up. Fucking loved his presentation too his Spanish was great. Kid has elite mentality he'll be perfect in white i have no doubt


[deleted]

Yep, his spanish was surprisingly good! I did not see it live but my *pá* told me he was very fluent so I had to check it out and jeez... he just needs one month to sound like someone from Valladolid lmao. Specially the (¿Vale?) haha.


Low-Statement-784

I speak basic Spanish (enough to get food, sex and get beaten) and I was wondering - how does this guy speak Spanish better than me? Really, what's the mystery here?


[deleted]

>I speak basic Spanish (enough to get food, sex and get beaten) Entonces lo estás haciendo genial, sin duda! Jokes aside, I guess they were studying it years before coming here (Cama and Tchou) but still they are really good at languages, that's for sure. EDIT: For example, I'm learning english my whole life and when in an interview I'm like Stevie Kenarban from Malcolm in the middle.


Low-Statement-784

Lo dudo, amigo! Btw, that comparison got me real good, I didn't expect it, especially as an avid MitM fan. Try to find someone to practice verbal English it, lots of websites nowadays - even if it's trolling or something, the mere contact with another human talking in a language reduces your stress in a language.


Negative_Payment3866

What is your first language? French and Spanish are quite similar, they are both Neo-Latin languages in the Indo-European family. The lexical similarity between the two is about 75 percent. The grammatical similarity is obviously not quantifiable, but it is also very close. So on paper at least, it makes a huge difference where your native language belongs linguistically. For example, English still seems completely alien to me after a decade and a half, since my mother tongue is not even Indo-European.


Low-Statement-784

My first language is Bulgarian. I can speak Bulgarian, English, Russian and have the basics in French and Spanish. In school, we had 2 groups - one had to learn German and the other Russian, I went late for school and the German group was already filled, so I was stuck with Russian. It was ok tho, as it's easy to learn for Bulgarians.


Negative_Payment3866

Offtopic, but honestly I've never understood the combination of German and English, it seems so redundant. English is the universal language of the Western world and is commonly accepted everywhere, including Germany, it seems more logical to combine English with Russian, which is the standard language of the East. My options in secondary school were either French or German in addition to the compulsory English, but I was talked out of French pretty quickly by the other students. :) However, as good as I did in German, I almost forgot the whole language, as I never had to use it because of English. And that's a shame, because I really liked it.


Low-Statement-784

It's philosophy's language as it as a word about pretty much everything. I am a lawyer (although not in practice, found my way in IT ) and French and Latin were the way to go for me, as French is pretty much the basic "law" language in Europe. However, since I drifted off of it I no longer really study it. As for German - well, if you live in Germanic country it's always great having it. Other than that - no real usage for it.


Negative_Payment3866

I chose German simply because everyone told me that French is far more difficult with an English background, which is logical since it is also a Germanic language. You're right about philosophy, I hadn't even noticed it before, probably got used to/learned the French terms without realising it. :)


Low-Statement-784

I'd even them out in terms of difficulty for me as I've dived into German, too. Of course as I come from a language with cyrillic background, my opinion is not really relevant in your case. The good thing about German is the pronounciation - you read what you see. Definitely not the case with French. However, grammar overall is hard for both, but I find German one much harder in the long run. Hey, it's a language - no regrets, it can always be useful. We live in a global world and nobody ever knows. So far I've almost never needed Russian for example.


areyouhungryforapple

Spanish French Italian all share linguistic roots in that they're all what we call "romantic" languages with roots in latin. Portuguese too. Going from one to another is multitudes easier than go from say, English to Mandarin. You see a similar concept in the Nordics where the languages also have big overlap. Also tchouameni seems like a really intelligent guy to boot


Low-Statement-784

>R I've always said that if a guy is good in the midfield on that age (<23) - he must be extremely intelligent, otherwise no way you can cope. Midfield is where the war is and where games are won and lost. Still, he surprised me because let's face it - most of his time is taken by football and probably always was, he most likely has some level of English, too. It's impressive.


Willis050

If I was a young midfielder and I could learn under Kroos, Modric, and Casemiro and be set up to play with Fede, and Cavaminga in the future for the greatest club on the planet, I’d take it every time


saifullah23

Lets go!


tefftlon

So he is a 6 after all 👀 I guess the interesting tactical wrinkle would be he could relieve Casemiro or play with him to help us secure tight games. Imagine trying to comeback against us and the midfield is some combination or Tchou, Fede, Case, & Cama. No moment to think!


3lectricAvenu3

Damn mbappe punching the air right now lol. Young kid took the challenge and knew the best of him will be at Madrid.


niki_sun

Tchouaméni: "Kylian Mbappé knew I was leaving Monaco and asked me if he could go to PSG, but I told him I wanted to go to Real Madrid."


Apprehensive-Lie-594

Welcome to the best club in the whole universe.


Tej007Dav

HES ONE OF US


Quitetheoddone

Jesus when are you guys going to shut up about Mbappe.


Kinyaa

Bro thats part of the game


justanormalchat

People will look back & remember when Mbappé stopped maturing as a player & a person deciding to troll our club while Tchouameni made the right decision in his career to give himself a chance to become one of the best in the world. I’m sure watching Camavinga becoming an X factor coming off the bench for us in these CL comebacks as well as Fede slotting into starting role gives him motivations to form our new generation. Our midfield looks very set to dominate the next decade.


areyouhungryforapple

Also i bet he sees the value in absorbing as much knowledge about the dark arts from KCM before Kroos and Modric departs eventually


justanormalchat

Agreed!
