Benzema's worrying analysis of Kylian Mbappé

In recent hours, Karim Benzema spoke to the Spanish program El Chiringuito and obviously, the subject of Kylian Mbappé came to the center of the debates. A fine connoisseur of the position and of Real Madrid, KB9 was not very optimistic about the development of the French striker in the Spanish capital. Because according to him, the arrival of Mbappé at Real Madrid poses an obvious tactical problem. “For me, the problem is that he is not a center forward. Mbappé is not one of them. Every time he plays for the '9' team, it doesn't work. It's not his job. But the problem is that on the left, there is a boy who is like him, at the same level, Vinicius. So there is a problem… I think we can't put Vinicius in '9' or on the right. Because in every match, he makes the difference on the left. Ancelotti knows a lot of things and we'll see how he handles that… A solution? Mbappé is not a pure '9'. I understand people, they ask him a lot of things. There is a lot of pressure, it's not PSG. »

Benzema puts Mbappé under pressure from Real

When giving advice to Kylian Mbappé, Karim Benzema therefore believes that it is now up to the captain of the team to learn to modify his role on the pitch to become a real 9. A task which will not be simple . “Kylian, you must not give up. Because I don't think Vinicius will move. He's the best in the world right now. And we can't move this boy. Mbappé must get it into his head that he is now a '9' and that he must forget the left. Let him move with Vinicius, alternating. He has always been very good on the left, but now he must be very good in another place on the pitch,” believes Benzema, who also puts Mbappé under the pressure of this new Merengue challenge. “Mbappé must learn to live with pressure. She is very strong at Real Madrid. He has to put this pressure on himself in every match, each match is a new one… He has to score goals, we brought him in just for that. He has the level and everything it takes to get there,” concludes the 2022 Ballon d’Or.
