The arrival of Kylian Mbappé at Real Madrid this summer from PSG was accompanied by many questions, particularly concerning his positioning on the pitch. Indeed, the kid from Bondy has never hidden his preference for the left side of the attack. Yes, but here’s the thing, at the Merengue, it’s Vinicius’s private hunting ground.
Since the start of the season, Kylian Mbappé has played two games with his new team, against Atalanta Bergamo and Mallorca, both at number 9, with Vinicius on his left and Rodrygo on his right. While the three men have great freedom on the attack front, Carlo Ancelotti prefers, for the moment, to see the “Kyk’s” at the forefront of his attack.
“I see Mbappé playing more on the left wing”
But for Miguel Angel Toribio, journalist for BrandMbappé’s role could well evolve in the future. I see Mbappé playing more on the left wing and Vinicius in the centre. Up front, Kylian is alone, he is not in the best shape, his movements are not good”he confided this Sunday to the microphone of Téléfoot.
For his part, Ludovic Giuly wanted to warn the former PSG star about the treatment he will receive in the Spanish press, ” Kylian arrives in another dimension: he is no longer the darling of the Parc, nor the jack-of-all-trades in a team”launched the ex-Barcelona player. Mbappé has been warned.
