Striker Karim Benzema believes that Kylian Mbappé should change his playing style to better suit Real Madrid.
He needs to understand that he has to be ‘number 9’ and forget about the left wing position. Mbappe played very well on the left wing, but now he needs to perform well in another position,” Benzema shared today, April 11.
According to the Al Ittihad striker, the controversy at Real Madrid is huge. In particular, Mbappe plays in the same position as Vinicius, who just won the 2024 silver ball after the explosive 2023/24 season. Benzema also pointed out that Mappe is not a striker.
The pressure at Real Madrid is not the same as at PSG. If you don’t score in two or three games, they will criticize you. Mbappe needs to learn to live with that power. Every match is new and you have to score goals, because the club brought him in to do that and reality shows that Kylian is capable of doing that,” Benzema added.
Describing Mappe, AS commented that “the image of a fast player, always making defenders worry, is gradually fading”. This site also believes that the Frenchman is no longer a true “goal-scoring machine”.
In two recent important matches against Dortmund and Barca, Mbappe played unconvincingly. His frequent failure can be determined when the PSG star previously scored 4 goals in 4 consecutive matches in September.
Recently, coach Carlo Ancelotti has been testing many different tactical schemes to find the best way to promote Mpbappe’s abilities. However, helping French players integrate into the new system is still an unsolved problem.
Today, April 11, Relevo revealed that Real players are unhappy when Mbapp plays individually, refuses to support the defense and often falls into the opponent’s offside trap. Mpbappe’s laziness is still possible as this player only moved 8 km in the devastating 0-4 loss to Barcelona not long ago.
After 14 matches in all competitions, Mbappé scored 8 goals for Real.
