Mbappé exonerated

Kylian Mbappé's record during his first three months with Real Madrid is not good. It's not bad, but it's definitely disappointing. Sent at the forefront of the Merengues attack, the captain of the France team has eight goals (including three penalties) and two assists in 14 matches in all competitions. In the game but also when losing the ball and in the defensive phase, the former PSG star player does not bring much to his team. He even disrupted the collective of the reigning Spanish and European champion!

Despite everything, even after his distressing performance during the Clasico lost 4-0 against Barça, a week ago at the Bernabéu, Mbappé remains untouchable. As indicated ReliefCarlo Ancelotti considers that he must do so with Jude Bellingham, Federico Valverde, Vinicius and the “Kyks”. New star number 9 for Real and absolute dream for years of President Florentino Pérez, Mbappé clearly does not have to worry about his starting place in all matches. For this team, supported last season by the mastery of Toni Kroos, the brilliance of Jude Bellingham and the breakthroughs of Vinicius, it is disturbing.

Mbappé rather than Bellingham

To complete the midfield and the attack according to the tactical system chosen for the match (Real played in 4-3-3, 4-4-2 diamond, 3-4-2-1 or even 4-4- 2 flat), the Italian Mister of Casa Blanca then chooses between number 6 Aurélien Tchouaméni, the torchbearers Luka Modric and Eduardo Camavinga as well as the right winger Rodrygo. By beating Mbappé at the kick-off 100%, Ancelotti deprives himself of returning to the 4-4-2 diamond which had allowed Bellingham to pile up the goals during the first part of last season.

Runner-up of FC Barcelona in Liga now six points behind the Blauganas, Real did not play their match in Valencia on Saturday due to the disaster that the Valencian region has been experiencing for several days. The Merengues return to the Champions League next Tuesday with a shock against AC Milan on Tuesday at the Bernabéu.
