Holder at the forefront of the French team attack since Euro 2024, Kylian Mbappé is lacking more and more realism as number 9, evidenced by his 11 consecutive matches without scoring in the game in the blue jersey (two penalties against Austria and Spain), series in progress. Asked about the subject at a press conference, the Real Madrid striker wanted to qualify the difficulty represented by playing at the forefront of the French team attack.
“Being 9 in club and in selection is not the same. But I think I have progressed in certain areas. I start to acclimatize to this position. In football everything is unpredictable, today I am in the axis. It is not yet completely to the point offensively, there is better. You can play 4 offensive, everything is a question of animation. Everything is to find the right balance, to have benchmarks in our game ”says the captain of the Blues.
