It is undeniable that Kylian Mbappe is the top superstar in the world today, but such a super player will not always be successful when switching clubs.
The story about Mbappe’s future is about to end when the La Liga president recently confirmed that the French superstar will land at Santiago Bernabeu this summer. That is good news for Madridistas, who are always looking forward to a sparkling squad with the brightest stars of soccer.
However, for the captain of the French team, the difficulties he faces in Spain are quite many, of which the following 5 issues stand out.
1. Fierce competition in attack
Breaking this very stable trio is not an easy job for Mbappe.
The question now is Kylian Mbappe’s playing position after he wears the legendary white shirt. Carlo Ancelotti’s Real are running very well with the trio of Vinicius Junior on the left, Rodrygo on the right and Jude Bellingham playing a little deeper in the middle of the field.
Logically, a superstar like Mbappe should always be given priority to play. But this is a forced move because no one wants to break the team that is playing so well. Therefore, there will likely be a hot competition between the French striker and current Real star – Vinicius.
2. Win Ancelotti’s trust
A fight between Kylian Mpbappe and Vinicius is certainly inevitable, so whoever performs better in the eyes of the Italian strategist, that person will win. Currently, the Brazilian striker is winning the trust of the 64-year-old coach, so to be able to make this teacher change his perspective will be a really big challenge for the French player personally.
Can the French star make Ancelotti completely trust him?
3. No longer the center of the team
At Paris Saint-Germain, Mbappe is the biggest star on the field, in the dressing room and in the media. This must have greatly helped the 25-year-old superstar’s scoring record, because every offensive ball must be directed towards him.
However, Mbappe will have to start from scratch at the Bernabeu next season. Real Madrid’s ambitions are much greater than PSG’s, so there will be no room for indulgence here. If the French player does not immediately prove himself from the first matches, his place after that will be on the bench.
4. Express desire
As mentioned, Paris Saint-Germain has lower ambitions than Real, which is shown by spending billions of euros on team investment over the years, but the rich French man only hangs around with his position. Ligue 1 championship. This will more or less affect Mbappe’s thinking.
Mbappe’s mission is to achieve success like these two compatriots.
For the Spanish royal team, winning domestic tournaments including La Liga is never enough. Every time a new season begins, their goal is to dominate domestically and dominate Europe. The Champions League is Los Blancos’ destination, a tournament where the French striker has never shone brightly.
5. Living in the shadow of Zinedine Zidane and Karim Benzema
Finally, the most obvious pressure on Mbappe after wearing the white shirt of the biggest club on the planet is to reach the level of his idol Cristiano Ronaldo, and at the same time overcome the invisible pressure that his two seniors put on him. Created by compatriots Zidane and Benzema.
There will certainly be comparisons between the 25-year-old striker and two past French Ballon d’Or winners, who were once the biggest stars at the Santiago Bernabeu. It is not easy for the former Monaco striker to overcome those pressures, but who knows because this is the path he has chosen.
