This has to be a tactic. There is no way that he doesn't know how to play striker and that he's too deep. Even my 12 year old knows where to be playing striker and wouldn't end up in these positions. Plus Bellingham didn't do that on his own. He didn't just think oh Mbappe is too deep let me make runs for him. It was obviously planned and just wasn't working.

It's tricky to judge now because the entire team is playing poorly, which was also to be expected after a league+CL winning season if you know these guys.
Could say the exact same about a number of his France team mates. Nobody would claim that Griezmann is one of the best in the world on the same basis.
Yeah but he was the mvp in that team both times out - that game vs Argentina in 2018 was the mesmerizing. Golden boot, 12 World Cup goals, 4 in the final. Let’s give props where they are due
That would be reason to sack Ancelotti immediately. Mbappé may be the fastest player ever, having him not make use of that would be a sign of complete loss of mental faculties
And Carlo is known to give his forwards complete freedom
So I guess if that is the case, Real Madrid fans should be happy with a season where they dont win La Liga and CL.
They done it last season so they dont need to do it again this season and performances dont need to be top.
You sign the best player and look a worse team.. this was always going to happen with Mbappe.
He is not a team player, he only cares about himself.
I dont think people don't give him props, he is one of the best players on the ball. He comes alive and can change a match. However; the way France play is designed around Mbappe, everything they do is around Mbappe, the players that play are there to suit Mbappe.
2018 they played Matuidi LB to give legs to cover. They packed the rest of the team with runners and workhorses.
They also had Pogba who always looked for Mbappe.
Whereas Madrid already have players they look for, the whole team isnt designed to play around Mbappe.
Finally, when it comes to club football teams press alot more, Mbappe isnt used to that. He thinks the whole team will work towards him.
Left out of the French squad.
And not injured.
Ties in with his request to only play important games isn't it?
I wouldn't say happy. Just be realistic.
"Give us courage to change what must be altered, serenity to accept what can not be helped, and insight to know the one from the other."
Will he end up like Neymar?
Too much of a professional and "not enough" injuries.
Plus his sister isn't as fit as Neymar's
Of course. He requested only to play the important games. You know that's gotta be the reason.
As it stands, he might not play with france anymore if deschamps still the manager as after he asked to be dismissed 2 windows ago because of injury and then played for madrid and on top of that, he was acused os SA while france was playing. And we know how deschamps act with benzema
If he starts avoiding playing "minor" games, has out of the pitch serious acusations and he is not top performing with RM, he might not be therre while deschamps in charge
Saying that, i think RM will get rid of Vinicius for a hefty sum and will center the project around benzema. I think florentino learnt from CR and Bale. Only 1 rooster in the hen pit and specially, position in the field
Benzema?
Mbenz
Was Thomas Muller seen that way in 2014? He had 10 goals and 6 assists in 13 WC games, and that despite not being the goalscoring focal point of his team(in his first WC, Mbappé had a closer role to Muller, to be fair). He got 30-40 goals plus assists in all of his seasons during that interval, which is not as impressive as Mbappé's 50-60(Muller's numbers were more impressive at that time, since only Messi and CR7 had these astronomical numbers), but the German was mainly a playmaker and, foremost, the epitome of the team player, which the French...is not(yeah, it's not a very "saleable" attribute, but give the man his due). Also, Muller won a UCL, being instrumental for his team.
I love both of their expression here probably thinking what the heck was Mbappe doing
I meant how deschamps "acted" with benzema. He didnt want him with france
International football gives him the time and space to run and plays to his strengths.
He hasn't developed his game in the slightest since leaving Monaco and it's biting him now. His touch is loose and he hasnt learned much movement. He can't simply rely on pace in La Liga the way he could in France.
I dont think he is the best on the ball.
His close control and actual technical ability may be above average but not extraordinary.
He has (or had) extraordinary athletic abilities coupled with a knack for goalscoring for fun.
Having watched him quite a lot in real life at PSG or France games, his footballing IQ is quite limited, he still doesn’t really how to time his runs and how to make threatening runs. When playing at 9, you seldom see him able to control the ball on the turn. When he’s not launched into space, his first touch will always be to stop the ball then, he’ll use his explosiveness to change direction.
Unless he drastically starts to improve, he’s not suited to play as a 9 at all
This guy was the scariest player I've seen live. He'll turn it around, he's too good not to.
We are entering into some serious revisionism territory here
I want him to fail there and come to United instead
Been a failure so far…on the right trajectory at least.
This is the going to shit way sooner than expected.
He should've came back to Chelsea.
He should've came back to Chelsea.
Have real madrid tried Vinicius Jnr centrally & Mbappe out wide?
*come back? When did he play for you?
In 2011. He played a game for the academy on trial.
The prodigal son returning home.
That would be great, he'd fit the club really well
In his dreams
Yeah, that's just the kind of selfless mentality players we need. Someone who looks to the greater good and not just their interests.
I had no idea about this.
Ah.
Look like two buddy teenage stoners from a Kevin Smith 00's movie.
Had no idea. My apoliogies, duffer
