Carlo Ancelotti Reveals Kylian Mbappe’s Position in Real Madrid’s Star-Studded Attack
The summer of 2024 has been all about the big-money signings and the rebuild of Real Madrid’s attack. And we finally have an answer to one of the biggest questions on everyone’s mind – where will Kylian Mbappe play?
The French prodigy officially joined Los Blancos on July 1, replacing Karim Benzema’s iconic number nine jersey. But the 24-year-old has been granted a rest following France’s impressive run at Euro 2024, and fans won’t get to see him in action just yet.
When Mbappe does make his debut, he’ll be playing upfront, but don’t expect him to be tied to a specific position. Ancelotti wants his forwards to be mobile and adaptable, allowing them to switch positions and create chaos on the pitch.
"We have to cover the 68 meters of the pitch with the players up front," Ancelotti said in an interview. "The attacking players need to have mobility and be able to manage the situation of the game. We’re not worried about where Mbappe will play – it’s about how he can contribute to the team."
This approach is reminiscent of Ancelotti’s tactics last season, where players like Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo Goes were given the freedom to roam and create opportunities. With Mbappe’s lightning speed and agility, he’ll be able to carve out chances from anywhere on the pitch.
The addition of Mbappe to Real Madrid’s attack has certainly raised the stakes for the La Liga giants. With Eden Hazard, Luka Modric, and Karim Benzema already providing a solid foundation, Mbappe is set to take the team to new heights. We can’t wait to see him in action!
