Highly criticized after his poor performance in the Clasico (0-4 for FC Barcelona), Kylian Mbappé will have to deal with an additional difficulty at Real Madrid. His competitor Endrick will surely get more playing time at the request of President Florentino Pérez.
Rather spared until last Saturday, Kylian Mbappé would almost serve as a scapegoat after the Clasico. The Real Madrid striker is receiving the majority of criticism because of his poor performance against FC Barcelona. It is true that the Frenchman made the task of his detractors easier by falling into the offside trap eight times. Here he is now targeted by severe criticism on his real level.
Under pressure, Kylian Mbappé will quickly want to reverse the trend. But the former Paris Saint-Germain player will have to deal with an additional difficulty for the rest of the season. According to the media Relevo, president Florentino Pérez asked coach Carlo Ancelotti to grant more playing time to Arda Güler and Endrick. Nothing worrying regarding the Turkish attacking midfielder who does not have the profile to play up front. On the other hand, the Brazilian striker plays in the same position as Kylian Mbappé. There is obviously no question of putting them in competition. A world and a few years of high-level experience separate the two teammates.
The rotation imposed on Ancelotti
But additional minutes given to Endrick imply exits during the match, or even matches started on the bench for the captain of the France team. Suffice to say that this new situation will not help him win back the Madrid supporters and press who will not hesitate to make comparisons. If he proves effective, the very young Endrick could actually complicate Kylain Mbappé's task, knowing that the Brazilian international will be hungry after his absence from coach Dorival Junior's recent list.
