Live broadcast on 13/0 Leo Ferdinand said in his podcast a few days ago that Mbappe is not yet at the point where he can work less hard at Real Madrid.

Rio Ferdinand said: "I think at the top of the game you can't have players who don't work, Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are exceptions because they're not normal people, so they can relax a little bit when they're not in possession, but you need a team that can handle the occasional one less. ”

"Is Mbappe a player of the level of Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi? No, he's not, I'm not disrespecting Mbappe when I say that, because no one is a player of the level of Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. And in this day and age, especially in football now, I don't think you can have players who aren't giving their best. ”

Rio Ferdinand's guest said: "Because it gives other people the wrong feeling, if you have a superstar like Kylian Mbappe who is not ready to work hard without the ball in the game, the other players will do the same, and it will affect the whole team. ”

Rio Ferdinand responded: "If it's a great team, it's not like that, because if you have a great player who performs well, you see Mbappe score 33 goals, but at the most crucial moments...... If you look at the ace player around you, if you know he's going to step up in the most important games, in the big moments, then maybe I can make you run a little bit less when you're not in possession. But I don't think Mbappe has gotten to that point, he hasn't been to Real Madrid long enough to prove himself in important games. ”

'If he can beat Arsenal for Real Madrid, then people will probably want to run more for him, and that's what we did for Cristiano Ronaldo at Manchester United, everybody will run a little bit more for him because we know he can change the game, but to do that, you need to be the one who can step up in the most crucial moments.
