Under coach Carlo Ancelotti, Real Madrid’s attack consists of a star trio of Vinicius Jr., Rodrygo and Mbappe. Mbappe is used as a center forward, while Vinicius Jr. takes over on the left wing and Rodrygo operates on the right.
However, the problem arises when both Mbappe and Vinicius Jr. tend to play best on the left wing, where they can cut inside to take advantage of their speed and technique.
In Real Madrid’s recent training session, Kylian Mbappe was placed in the left wing forward position, in the shared video, he showed impressive technique and speed to score a goal.
Witnessing this training session of the French striker, Real Madrid fans immediately suggested that coach Carlo Ancelotti move Mbappe to play in the left wing position, where he showed his peak performance while at PSG.
One person shared: “That’s because Mbappe plays as a left winger, that’s where he performs best. I actually think Mbappe is better than Vinicius Jr, and it’s just a matter of time before he starts playing there.” A second person commented: “Mbappe is absolutely fantastic in his preferred left wing position.”
Although Mbappe has scored eight goals in 16 appearances, the lack of cohesion in the team’s play has worried fans.
Many believe that inappropriate positioning is reducing the effectiveness of both Mbappe and Vinicius Jr. Some have suggested that Ancelotti should come up with a rotation plan or develop new tactics to make the most of the talents of these two stars.
