After trying different sports, Thibault turned to a career as an amateur footballer. When making a choice between becoming a professional footballer and a journalist, the qualities tipped the scales to one side. Here he is now in the editorial staff of 10 Sport, after a diploma obtained at the International Institute of Communication in Paris.
If Florentino Pérez has finally got his hands on Kylian Mbappé, his performances with Real Madrid currently clearly leave something to be desired. To explain the disappointing performance of the captain of the France team, some use the argument of his positioning, Mbappé being aligned at number 9. What would then be the solution for Real Madrid to remedy this problematic situation?
Vinicius Jr – Kylian Mbappé, the puzzle was announced for the Real Madrid following the arrival of the French. Until now, considering that the Brazilian was untouchable in the left lane, Carlo Ancelotti therefore aligned the ex-player of the PSG at number 9. However, as we know, Mbappé is not a central attacker and the problem has not escaped anyone. “ For me, the problem is that he is not a central striker. Mbappé is not. That's not his position. But the problem is that on the left, there is someone like him. At the same level: Vinicius Jr. So there is a problem », notably blurted out Karim Benzema.
What position for Mbappé?
The fact is that the yield of Kylian Mbappé today leaves something to be desired as number 9 and a solution is therefore sought. What should you do Carlo Ancelotti ? The first option would be to continue to align the Frenchman at the forefront, but in this scenario, it is up to Madrid's number 9 to make the necessary efforts. The second scenario would be to replace Mbappé on the left, his preferred position, but Vinicius Jr would then pay the price. Not a good idea in the eyes of Karim Benzema : « I think you can't put Vinicius as 9 or on the right. In every match, he makes the difference on the left ».
“Mbappé is either on the left or on the bench”
Finally the 3rd option for the Real Madrid would be to… put Kylian Mbappé on the substitutes' bench. Carlo Ancelotti will he decide to use strong tactics with the Frenchman? More and more people are talking about a passage by the Frenchman on the sidelines. Daniel Riolo explained in particular: “ I'm going to repeat the sentence that I've repeated 150 times, Mbappé is either on the left or on the bench. Since on the left there is better than him at the moment with Vinicius, well it will go on the bench. It can't be otherwise. Can Real make such a decision? Real is a big club. But they can't continue like this, it's obvious ».
So, what should Real Madrid do with Kylian Mbappé?
