“The problem is that Mbappé is not a N.9,” said former Real Madrid and France team scorer Karim Benzema on Spanish television, pointing out a lack of compatibility with the Brazilian Vinicius Junior.
“The problem, in my opinion, is that he is not a center forward. Even in the selection, every time he plays as No.9 he does not feel good, because it is not his position. But on the left, he has a guy who is at the same level as him, Vinicius.reacted Benzema in an interview broadcast Monday evening on the show El Chiringuito.
“Vinicius, we can’t put him in No.9 or on the right, because by playing on the left he makes the difference in every match. Mbappé is not a real No.9. People ask a lot of him, he has a lot of pressure. It’s not Paris Saint-Germain.”added the 2022 Ballon d’Or who, at 36 years old, plays today at Al-Ittihad in Saudi Arabia.
“Should I give him any advice? He doesn’t give up, because I don’t think he’s going to push Vinicius to move. He’s the best player in the world right now. Mbappé must get it into his head that today he is a No.9, and forget the left side a little. Then he must find a way to swap with Vinicius. He’s very good on the left, but now he has to become very good in another position.”estimates the French striker.
The former Merengue number 9, who spent 14 seasons at Real, recalls that in Madrid “If you go two or three games without scoring a goal, you get killed. You can win the Ballon d’Or, whatever you want, three games later you don’t score and it starts again”. “Mbappé must therefore learn to live with this pressure. He must put positive pressure on himself. Every match is a new match, and he must score goals. Because that’s what we brought you in for: to score goals “He has the level and the talent to succeed.”he concluded.
