Real Madrid legend Cristiano Ronaldo expressed his great love for Kylian Mbappe, giving advice to the Merengue fans on how to deal with the Frenchman in the future.
Mbappe considers Ronaldo his role model, so much so that on the night of his presentation as a new player for Real Madrid, he posted a picture of himself as a child with the Don and wished to be like him at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Ronaldo asks Real Madrid fans to take care of Mbappe
In an interview with the El Chiringuito program, Ronaldo said about Mbappe at Real Madrid, “Take good care of him, I tell Real Madrid fans to take care of this boy.”
He also added, “Mbappe is a great player and Real Madrid should help and protect him, I am sure that Kylian will bring a lot of happiness to the fans.”
Ronaldo asks Mbappe to follow him
Regarding Mbappe’s participation in the position of the explicit striker and not the winger, Ronaldo asked the French star to follow him in how to make this transformation.
The Saudi Al-Nassr star said in this regard, “I understand that the striker position causes him some difficulties. He is not good at playing in this position, not because he does not know or cannot do it, but because it is not his natural position.”
He continued, “If I were in Real Madrid, I would have taught him how to play in this position. I was not a striker either, but I got used to this position later. People forget that. I am originally a winger.”
He concluded, “If I were in Mbappe’s place, I would have played the same way Cristiano Ronaldo plays as a striker. He should not be a traditional striker.”
Does Ronaldo follow Real Madrid?
At the end of his talk, Ronaldo revealed that he still follows Real Madrid from time to time, and the secret behind that is his son Mateo.
The 39-year-old said, “I follow Real Madrid matches from time to time because my son Mateo loves Mbappe very much.”
It is noteworthy that Ronaldo previously revealed that his son Mateo tells him that Mbappe is better than him, to which the Don responded that he has scored more goals than the current Real Madrid star.
