We have to be good, stay united, and work towards a common goal, which is the success of Real Madrid,&#8221; explained Kylian Mbappe. &#8220;It is more of a thing with the new generation because social media magnifies every little detail. But that is par for the course. We understand how the landscape works and we do our utmost to avoid feeding stories that simply are not true.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The French forward also issued a clear wake-up call to the dressing room: &#8220;We cannot sleepwalk through six months and then expect to lift every piece of silverware. Football simply does not work like that; it is never that easy. You cannot afford to drop your guard. That is why our focus is locked on the here and now, but we have to go out and prove it on the pitch.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Addressing the dynamic alongside his fellow galacticos, Mbappe highlighted their contrasting profiles: &#8220;Vinicius and Bellingham are very different. On the pitch, they bring completely different skill sets to the table. There are areas where Jude thrives, and others where Vini truly shines.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kylian Mbappe dismissed questions from &#8216;AS&#8217; regarding his dressing room relationships, insisting his sole focus remains on securing<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2148,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2147","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2147","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2147"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2147\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2149,"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2147\/revisions\/2149"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2148"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2147"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2147"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2147"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
