Illusion of return.. Zidane defeats Mbappe series
Sudan Events – Agencies
With a video clip posted on his official account on the X website, the Parisian star ended an excitement that lasted nearly three years when Paris Saint-Germain rejected an offer to sell him to Real Madrid for 150 million euros.
In the following year, 2022, Mbappe was on the verge of moving to the Royal Club in a free transfer deal, had it not been for high-level interventions that reached the President of the Republic of France, Emmanuel Macron, who convinced the player to sign a new contract extending until 2025, with the third season subject to Mbappe’s approval.
A series enda..and another remains
Although Kylian Mbappe has not yet announced his next destination and is very reserved in the face of persistent media inquiries, the whole world knows that the France captain is on his way to fulfilling his childhood dream of wearing a Real Madrid shirt.
The Mbappe series has ended, and another, more strange, football series remains, also starring the French star Zinedine Zidane, who decided to completely stay away from the limelight after the end of his second term with Real Madrid in the summer of 2021.
Zinedine Zidane’s return to the world of training has become a series whose end is unknown or specific, despite the press speculation that has been raised about him from time to time regarding attractive training opportunities.
Fear of adventure
The name (Zizou) has been associated with coaching many prestigious clubs such as Manchester United of England, Bayern Munich of Germany, Juventus of Italy, as well as Paris Saint-Germain of France, the Brazilian national team, and even returning again for the third time to Real Madrid.
But every time this return evaporates with certain messages from Zidane himself without providing clear justifications for his absence from the world of training for three years.
Newspapers and media reported what was going on in Zidane’s mind, between his dream of leading the French national team, whose technical seat is occupied by Didier Deschamps, with a contract extending until the summer of 2026, and the French star’s lack of the spirit of adventure in betting on sports projects that are not guaranteed or have clear features, such as Chelsea, Manchester United, and Juventus, or not suits his personality like Paris Saint-Germain or the language factor like Bayern Munich.
In the summer of 2024, Kylian Mbappe’s series came to an end, but Zidane’s series continues with its episodes that connect him every period with a new team, without any clear position from the calm French coach, who prefers silence in the midst of the forest of expectations.
