His arrival had caused a stir and had been expected for many months. Obviously, the transfer of Kylian Mbappé to Real Madrid leaves no one indifferent and should bring big changes to the White House. Surrounded by other stars, the Frenchman should nevertheless be the number 1 offensive weapon of the Merengues according to all the latest statements around his arrival. While Vinicius Junior, Jude Bellingham and Rodrygo have all expressed their joy at being able to play with the Bondynois from next season, the latter will also have to adapt to the needs and duties of the biggest club in the world.
While his adventure at Paris Saint-Germain ended in a damp squib, the captain of the French team will also be expected on this pitch where his attitude both internally and on the pitch will have to be irreproachable. In this sense, the Merengues should help their new number 9 to acclimatize as best as possible under his new colors. Like his presentation in great pomp at the Santiago-Bernabeu, the people of Madrid are longing for the arrival of the former Monaco player and the Iberian leaders intend to do everything to put their new weapon in the best conditions.
Kylian Mbappé to take Real Madrid’s free kicks
In this sense, Marca gives new elements this Tuesday. According to our Iberian colleagues, the departure of Toni Kroos poses a big problem for Real Madrid for set pieces. The Merengues’ designated free-kick taker last year, the newly retired German will no longer be there to take them and the Madrid staff had a question about who was able to take over. With the names of Jude Bellingham, Federico Valverde and David Alaba being put forward, Kylian Mbappé would ultimately be the lucky one.
Having often tried his hand at the exercise since the beginning of his career, the top scorer in PSG’s history has never managed to become a free-kick specialist. It’s simple, he hasn’t scored any since his debut at Monaco, despite several attempts, notably with the French team. He should be able to break the curse with Real Madrid. On the other hand, the 2018 world champion will not take penalties. Indeed, the Spanish media claims that Vinicius Junior, brilliant in the exercise, will remain the Madrid players’ designated shooter.
