Kylian Mbappé's acclimatization is more complicated than expected at Real Madrid and the reason is obvious according to Karim Benzema, who revealed a serious problem ahead for Carlo Ancelotti in the Spanish capital.
Kylian Mbappé is Real Madrid's top scorer this season with 8 goals and yet the French international's adaptation is difficult. A week ago during the Clasico against FC Barcelona, the former PSG striker experienced an ordeal, with two goals refused and offsides galore. The Spanish press is losing patience and has been unleashed on Kylian Mbappé, especially since the Madrid striker's affairs in Sweden are not helping his good acclimatization. But according to Karim Benzema, who spoke for El Chiringuito, the real problem is tactical.
Mbappé is not a center forward according to Benzema
Indeed, for the 2023 Ballon d'Or, who always follows with the greatest vigilance the results of Real Madrid from Saudi Arabia, Carlo Ancelotti insists on playing Kylian Mbappé in a center forward position which It's just not his. And as long as the captain of the Blues plays in this position, the problem will persist according to the current Al-Ittihad scorer. “For me, Mbappé is not a 9. He is a left winger. But the problem is that on the left, there is Vinicius Jr who is the best in the world. And I don't think we can put Vinicius in 9 or on the right, because he always makes the difference on the left.” revealed Karim Benzema before concluding.
“I will forever believe in Real Madrid. They always come back, especially when the whole world doubts them. I have confidence in the team” revealed Karim Benzema, without providing a miracle solution to Carlo Ancelotti to make Kylian Mbappé and Vinicius Junior coexist as best as possible. The Brazilian being untouchable on the left and the Frenchman probably not having the desire to make the effort to defend on the right, the Real Madrid coach is blocked. And Kylian Mbappé should start again at the forefront of the attack this Tuesday against AC Milan in the Champions League.
