After having said and repeated that Kylian Mbappé was going to play well in the number 9 position all season, Carlo Ancelotti finally innovated on Sunday by sending the Frenchman to the left lane and installing Vinicius Jr in the center. A choice that the Spanish press has already interpreted as a “victory” for Mbappé over his Brazilian teammate.
But for Ancelotti, it was more about fitness, as he said in a press conference. “He had a very good match. He is more used to playing in this position and today (Sunday) for the team and for him, it was better. Because he was fresher than Vinicius, who was returning from selection, and the center forward position is less physically tiring. But I find that the two are getting better and better. » It remains to be seen whether the Italian technician will repeat the experience.
