A former Real Madrid player has validated Carlo Ancelotti’s choice to install Kylian Mbappé at the forefront of the attack.

This is one of the questions that arose when Kylian Mbappé arrived at Real Madrid this summer. Where can Bondy’s kid play? Because if the former Parisian has never hidden his preference for the left side of the attack, it is the preserve of Vinicius Junior. This is why Carlo Ancelotti decided to position the captain of the Blues at number 9.

After a mixed start, Kylian Mbappé appeared more and more comfortable throughout the matches in his role as a leading attacker. A position that fits him like a glove, according to Fernando Morientes.

Morientes: “I like Mbappé in the middle”

“I find it good. His automatisms are more those of a lane player, where he mainly played at PSG. But I find it good. He makes calls all the time, and because he is so fast and strong, he always wins the position. To be a center forward, you have to gain a meter, or even half a meter. You always have to be in front of the defender, and with his speed, it’s obviously easier.”thus confided to the daily

A.S. the former White House scorer.

For Morientes, Mbappé is above all the most capable of occupying this position of 9. “ I like Mbappé in the middlehe insisted. Among the front three… Rodrygo wouldn’t adapt as well (in the center), and neither would Vinicius. The one who it suits best is Mbappé, and he does it well. »
