Real Madrid fans are very excited to see Kylian Mbappé play for them on the pitch. The upcoming season is in a month, and the fans will soon get to see the team player on a preseason tour in the United States later this month.
The club may need to find a way to bring the French player to the tour, but Mbappé has hardly had a break since the past season. He finished the season at PSG with a trophy and then went to the EUROS with France in Germany.
Mbappé did not train at the Real Madrid facilities, but he did do his medical there. The French player will be managed by Carlo Ancelotti, but his physical condition will be improved by coach Antonio Pintus. The Italian professional fitness coach was asked about his plan for Mbappé ahead of next season.
His statement reveals that Mbappé is aiming to win his first trophy with Real Madrid in his debut season, the UEFA Super Cup. Pintus said, “I will try to have Mbappé ready for the UEFA Supercup.” The UEFA Super Cup is on August 14th against Atalanta.
Mbappé mentioned his conversation with Pintus in the press conference he had after the presentation at the Santiago Bernabeu. Mbappé said, “I spoke to Pintus today on how I can be in top physical shape for next season.” After today, Mbappé is expected to take his vacation after his campaign with France at the European Championship.
Diario AS reports that Antonio Pintus has designed a ‘Cristiano Ronaldo style’ program to get Mbappé to the best shape possible. This may be a workout program that Mbappé would like to follow since it involves his idol’s specific workouts that have kept him in shape and in great form for many years. Mbappé is already motivated to play for the club, and many predict that he will have the best season yet of his career.
When is Real Madrid’s first preseason match?
Real Madrid will be playing against AC Milan on July 31st in the first match of the US preseason tour. They will then take on FC Barcelona on August 3rd. The final preseason match in the US will be on August 6th against Chelsea.
It will be very unlikely that Mbappé will play with Real Madrid against AC Milan on July 31st. He will take a vacation now after playing at EURO 2024 with the French national team. He also suffered a broken nose that he needs to check out. Mbappé joined the club with lots of excitement, and fans came to see him on the pitch as a Real Madrid player. Mbappé does not want to disappoint Florentino Perez like how he did when he was at Paris Saint Germain, as he chose to stay in France. Mbappé wants to be fully prepared for the Champions League and La Liga this upcoming season.
