On paper, Real Madrid is a co-leader of the Liga ranking with FC Barcelona (with an additional match) and has just qualified for the quarter-finals of the Champions League. But on the ground and behind the scenes, it is not joy. Especially between Vinícius Júnior and Kylian Mbappé. As soon as the French arrived in Real Madrid, the two men were scrutinized closely. Casa Blanca was rubbing its hands to have two of the best attackers in the world in her hands, but the observers wondered how Carlo Ancelotti was going to make them coexist.
Vinicius JR plays on the left wing, Mbappé's favorite position. In the end, the Bondynois was repositioned in the axis. In terms of statistics, Mbappé scored 28 times and Vinicius planted 18 and delivered 11 assists. However, rumors have recently released in Spain on the “false understanding” between French and Brazilian. Clearly, Mbappé and Vinicius would seek to sell a bond that would not exist. Today, Reader does not confirm this rumor, but the media nevertheless indicates that those around them inform that there are no problems without speaking of friendship.
Mbappé and Vinicius Jr are not friends
Reader Above all, emphasizes that the two merengues stars struggle to cohabit together on the meadow. “The analysis made internally is that either one or the other shines, but the two generally do not shine at the same time”writes the media, which adds that this problem has become a source of concern for Real Madrid. The copy rendered by the two men in the eighth round of C1 against Atlético is the proof. Vinicius Jr was muzzled by Llorente on his left wing and even missed a penalty caused by Mbappé. For his part, the former Parisian certainly obtained this fault, but his 10 shot in 120 minutes is catastrophic for a match of this level.
Reader Add that the two played 35 games together (set off together 32 times). And out of these 35 meetings, only 8 of them saw the two Madrid attackers mark both. Then, the media specifies that Mbappé displays the worst statistics in terms of kilometers traveled and at the pressing level. For its part, “Vini” runs more, but in a disorganized way. A terrible assessment for Madrid leaders who hoped that their two stars would no longer have this kind of concern for adaptation at this stage of the season, at a time when the trophies are decided. Will Real Madrid still manage to succeed in the end of the season? For the moment, the ship sits, but it does not flow.
