Kylian Mbappé knows that to get his new Madrid adventure off to a good start, he will have to arrive with mental and physical freshness. Because his challenge will be multiple at Real Madrid. He arrived on conquered ground, as evidenced by his incredible presentation in front of 80,000 people, at the fan level, despite the reversals of situation concerning his transfer in recent years. But he must now succeed in his integration into the locker room.
A locker room that has been more than difficult to integrate into in the past, Nicolas Anelka can testify to that. It was a different time, when the Spanish stars of the locker room had not welcomed the new French star with open arms. Today, if we are to believe various testimonies collected by The Athleticit is an ultra-close-knit and friendly locker room that awaits Kylian Mbappé. Last season was also considered by the players as one of the best in terms of atmosphere. Beyond the titles won, with a new Champions League and La Liga, the social base of the group has been considerably strengthened.
A locker room that is happy to welcome him
The locker room may be accumulating stars, but there is no war of egos, like the complicity that quickly united Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham. Kylian Mbappé has nothing to worry about, he is desired by all the players. He had also confided in a press conference that Vinicius was eager to share the attack with him. After the announcement of his signing, many players welcomed his choice via social networks. In addition, his salary will not be disconnected from the rest of the locker room (but will be the most important if we count the bonuses and bonuses), which was a desire of Real Madrid so as not to destabilize its group.

The Merengue club is well aware of the special status that Mbappé had at Paris Saint-Germain after his unexpected extension in 2022, and does not want to make the same mistake. It therefore welcomed with pleasure the first words of the Frenchman during his press conference, or on the fact that he would not come to claim the number 10 of Luka Modric, who extended his contract by one year. Tactically too, the possible problem of his integration into a team that performed well last season has already been resolved by Carlo Ancelotti.
According to The AthleticReal Madrid will play in a flexible 4-3-3, with Mbappé taking his place in the center of the attack, with Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo at his sides. In the defensive phase, the pattern would become a 4-4-2 with Mbappé and Vini to carry out the first pressing, and Bellingham who would slide in on the left side, Rodrygo defending the right side. Everything seems already set like clockwork. All that remains is to tune the musicians on the field.
