Following Real Madrid’s disappointing 1-1 draw in Mallorca on the opening day of La Liga, Kylian Mbappé has naturally been the centre of attention. Carlo Ancelotti has already announced a change of position for the French striker ahead of the next match.
The Italian coach has learned this the hard way during his first two games with Kylian Mbappé on the pitch. The French international has plenty of quality, but his positioning in the centre of the attack does not seem to be optimal.
The Real Madrid manager has also realised this and announced in a press conference that from now on he will play on the left. That means that the 2018 World Cup winner will compete with Vinicius Junior. “Either Vinicius or Kylian Mbappé will play on the left wing. I have to choose,” said Ancelotti in the mixed zone after the match against Mallorca.
Who will line up in attack from now on? Jude Bellingham already played as a false nine last season, having a total influence on the Merengue’s game and thus revealing his most goalscoring side. Rodrygo also lined up in this position on several occasions.
As a result, Arda Güler or Endrick could get much more playing time in Madrid’s attacking line. Between Vini and Mbappé, Ancelotti is likely to opt for the Brazilian forward, as he is much more familiar with the Los Blancos’ tactical system.
