Last season, Vinicius began drifting more centrally in the 4-4-2 formation. There were matches when he even assigned the main task on the left wing to Rodrygo Goes. Clearly, the team was somewhat prepared for Mbappe’s arrival and the number 9’s versatility in the front three also helped. Mbappe talked about the tactical compatibility with the excellent strikers at the Bernabeu:
“Vinicius is a great player, as is Rodrygo and everyone else at Real Madrid. I think high-class players can always play together. I would have no problem doing so. Vinicius played outstandingly excellent in recent seasons and now I come to adapt to help the club win.”
