Author of a double during the big victory against Las Palmas, Kylian Mbappé once again showed his advantage in the center forward position. His coach Carlo Ancelotti assured at a press conference that he found the Frenchman better in the center than on the wing.
Should Kylian Mbappé play in the center or on one side? In recent years, the question has animated the French team, Paris Saint-Germain and, since last summer, Real Madrid. But Carlo Ancelotti, the coach of the Merengues, visibly decided after the double and the Frenchman's new very good performance against Las Palmas on Sunday evening.
“I would say that Mbappé is the best center forward in the world, explained the Italian coach. Some doubted that he could play center forward, wondered if he should be put on the left wing. It's a great striker, who is better in the center than on the wing, because he has a unique way of standing out. We can take advantage of him better when he plays in the center.
“I can play the way I want.”
Second top scorer in La Liga, Kylian Mbappé has been aligned since the start of the season as a center forward, the left side being on paper the property of Vinicius. But in fact, the two have gotten into the habit of combining and the Frenchman is freer than a traditional number 9. After this weekend's victory, he didn't hide it.
-“I adapt to the team and I can play as I want, with my teammates, with personality,” he explained to Real Madrid TV after receiving a standing ovation at the Santiago Bernabeu. “I think that we're all benefiting from.” In the Spanish capital, everything is going well for Mbappé.
