Marca: Mbappe is not used to playing in the number nine position and he has to adapt to the difference between La Liga and Ligue 1（YAJING)

Live on August 27, Recently, "Marca" talked about Mbappe's performance in the new season of the La Liga League, they believe that players need to adapt to the change of position in the team, but also need to adapt to the difference between the La Liga league and the French League.

They say it is clear to everyone that Mbappe is at his best on the left wing and creates danger in the opposition defence. In his first three games in a Real Madrid shirt, even though he did it from the No9 position, in those three games people did not see the performance that the world's best player should produce.

Is it about location? Ancelotti said: "No, absolutely not, he is a good striker, very fast, very good without the ball and he had three or four chances. From this position, he will score goals, as he has always scored goals. I don't think it's necessary for him to play on the left, from the centre he can score goals."

In fact, Mbappe has played as a centre-forward for most of his career. It is true that there are few players around him who are as focused on the left wing as Vinicius. Last season, the Brazilian started to move more to the centre, but it was a different formation. In Ancelotti's 4-3-3 system for the 2024/25 season, the role of the front line is clear.

The discomfort Mbappe found during the match had other factors besides the fact that he was not used to moving as a centre-forward. On the one hand, he has come to a winning team with a very clear mechanism and he has to adapt to that, whether as a no9 or a winger.

Then came a completely different scenario to what he had experienced in France, where Spanish teams have a tactical system that is the benchmark in Europe, and two games in La Liga were enough for him to understand that dealing with La Liga's defensive structure was irrelevant to the situation he faced in Ligue 1.

Mbappe must understand this new context and games, such as the one against Valladolid, where his opponents built a defensive network rarely seen in Ligue 1 and even more so in the Champions League. But what is clear is that Ancelotti and his team have no concerns and the signing does not raise any questions.
