Kylian Mbappé has a very honorable statistical season. With 33 goals scored in 50 matches played under the colors of Real Madrid, all competitions combined, the captain of the French team is in his standards of previous exercises.

Only here, his positioning at the center forward asking questions. It seems obvious that it is not his favorite placement in the field. However, Carlo Ancelotti continues to use it as well. What deplores
Daniel Riolo.

“Its place is not as number 9. If Vinicius goes at the end of the season, OK. But it's been two years since Mbappé was spoiling in a role that is not his. He does what he can, puts the goals, another thirty this year and there are some who are magnificent, others very easy. In short, from the moment you are in front, it's normal to put goals. But how long will he spoil to play in this position? “, wondered the sports journalist on RMC.

Mbappé, set up?

Now 26 years old, will the former Paris Saint-Germain player one day find his best level?
“Either he finds a real physique – and he is not far from having it completely – to replay in the position that has made his glory, or he persists in wanting to play 9, to pick up, to believe that he will make openings, and he will spoil”, Imagine the acolyte of Gilbert Brisbois.

Daniel Riolo even seems a bit fatalistic about the rest of his career. “We will have had a fantastic player from 17 to 25 years old, which is already not bad. He has a record which is very substantial over this period. But there, if it is to see that, under these conditions, we will not see the Mbappé that we have known ”concludes the companion of
Géraldine Maillet.
