Hungry for sport, he grew up to the sound of Formula 1 engines and the exploits of Ronaldinho. Today, with a Master’s degree in sports journalism, he no longer misses an Grand Prix or a PSG match, his two passions and specialties.

Arriving free at Real Madrid this summer, Kylian Mbappé has disappointed since his debut with Casa Blanca. Lined up at center forward while Vinicius Junior shines in the left lane, the former PSG striker seems to be in an impasse. Asked about this situation, Karim Benzema recognizes that it is a problem for Real Madrid.

Highly anticipated, the signing of Kylian Mbappé struggles to convince on the side of Real Madrid. It must be said that Carlo Ancelotti decided to line him up as a center forward given the fact that Vinicius Junior is completely untouchable in the left corridor. Karim Benzema also recognizes that this poses a problem for the Real Madridwho will quickly have to find a solution.

“So there is a problem”

« For me the problem is that he is not a center forward. Mbappé is not. Every time he plays with the national team as a ‘9’ he is not good. It’s not his job. But the problem is that on the left, there is a guy who is like him. At the same level, Vinicius. So there is a problem… I think Vinicius cannot be played as ‘9′ or on the right. Because in every match, he makes the difference on the left. Ancelotti knows a lot of things and we will see how he goes about it….. Solution? Mbappé is not a pure ‘9’. I understand people, they ask him a lot of things. There’s a lot of pressure, it’s not PSG », he assures in an interview granted to Beach barbefore continuing.

“Mbappé must get it into his head that he is now a ‘9’ and that he forgets the left”

« Kylian, you must not give up. Because I don’t think Vinicius is going to move. He’s the best in the world right now. And the kid can’t be moved. Mbappé must get it into his head that he is now a ‘9’ and that he forgets the left. That he evolves with Vinicius, alternately. He was always very good when he was on the left but now you have to be very good elsewhere on the pitch. The pressure is very difficult to bear. It’s different for me, I was 21 years old. He knows there is a lot of pressure in Madrid. With two or three matches, if you don’t score a goal, they will kill you. You can win the Ballon d’Or or whatever you want, if you don’t score in three matches, again… », added Karim Benzema.
