Real Madrid assistant, Davide Ancelotti has come out to say that Kylian Mbappe isn’t a violent kid. This is coming after his sending off for a reckless foul against Alaves’ Antonio Blanco, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, Mbappe was fully aware of how dangerous his tackle was after it happened, and that made him apologize to the affected player immediately.
Davide added that the several fouls he also faces as a player forced him to react that way against an opponent.
His words, “I haven’t spoken to him since. Kylian isn’t a violent kid, he’s a kid who has apologized and is aware of what he’s done. It was a clear red card and he’s paid the consequences. The many small fouls committed against him have made him react this way, which isn’t right. I’m not justifying it, but that’s what happened.”
WOW.
