The Portuguese star spoke of the role of Mbappé in Real Madrid with a small reproach.
After complicated beginnings, Kylian Mbappé Finally took its cruising rate with Real Madrid and has become the essential player that he was with goals, assists and a real influence on the game and probably on his teammates.
If the Frenchman had to take the criticisms of fans and even observers for months, within Real Madrid, we have not really doubted his capacities of Rebon. And the biggest legends of the club are convinced that Kylian Mbappé will succeed in the “White House.”
This is in particular the case of Cristiano Ronaldo, idol of French, who believes in the success of Mbappé, even if he has a well-sized opinion on his role and his position in the game. “If I was in Real Madrid, I would learn to Mbappé to play as number 9. Because I am not an attacker. Edu ‘.
“The attacker’s position makes things a little difficult for Mbappé, because he does not know how to play as an attacker in my opinion … It is not that he does not know, it is not his position,” also explained the fivefold Ballon d’Or who currently evolves in Saudi Arabia. Not necessarily the opinion of Mbappé, who had mentioned his versatility when I arrived in Madrid: “As I said on the day of my presentation, I am able to evolve in the three positions of the attack. Whatever the one I will be used, I will play with the same state of mind,” he said recently in the mixed zone.
Despite this questioning around the position of Kylian Mbappé, the Portuguese, which aims for a 6th World Cup in 2026, encouraged supporters and Real observers to be benevolent. “Take care of him. Take care of him. I say to Real Madrid supporters … Take care of this kid,” said Ronaldo insistence.
And Ronaldo was in any case right, since Mbappé seems to be gradually asserting himself in this famous position of 9 for a few weeks and taking his marks at the forefront of the attack. The proof with the hat -trick registered against Manchester City on February 19, in the Champions League.
The relationship between the two men is special since Mbappé had Ronaldo posters with the Real Madrid jersey in his room. “I love her very much, and not only because of this story,” admits CR7. “I really see him as a star and he will give Real Madrid a lot of joy.” It is now up to the world champion to respond on the field and add lines to his record.
