'Activity 8km' Mbappe Real Madrid. He's walking in the stadium...Ancelotti also concluded that Mbappe was a problem

Nov 04, 2024

Kylian Mbappe needs to understand that he is both a front-line striker and a front-line defender.

"Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti is considering a change to make Mbappe look like Michael Jordan," said Spain's Lelevo on the 3rd (Korea time)," he reported.

Talking about Mbappe, one of the best soccer players in the world, basketball legend Jordan came out because of a video of a conversation between Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) coach Luis Enrique and Mbappe. The video came after Mbappe left PSG, but Enrique mentioned Jordan, Mbappe's role model, while analyzing the video with Mbappe.

Enrique told Mbappe "I heard you liked Jordan. Jordan defended himself like a madman. You should set an example as a human being, as a player"He began to emphasize his involvement in the defense.

Enrique said, `If you are a true leader, you should contribute to the team even if you don't score. Attacks are not everything. You're a really good offensive player. But if he can't attack, he should also be the best defender in the world. That's the leader and Jordan," he said, leaving Mbappe with advice to improve.

Now that advice will apply to Real as well. Real are not seeing any effect on Mbappe's recruitment. With Mbappe's recruitment, he seemed to take a leap forward as the world's best club, but the attack did not go as far as the offense. The defense got worse.

Ancelotti's own analysis was a problem with the front players, especially Mbappe's defense. Relevo said "Ancelotti has already come to the conclusion that the focus should be on the defense system above all else", he explained.

In the 0-4 El Clasico disaster, which was Real's most disgraceful defeat this season, Mbappe reportedly ran only 8km. In general, athletes can run 10 kilometers when they run full time, but Mbappe's activity is too low compared to other athletes. The problem of Mbappe's low activity was found to be dissatisfied even in the locker room.

Relevo said "These statistics are causing concern in the locker room for a number of reasons. Most important of all, if Mbappe doesn't defend, other players have to do it, which in turn interferes with the entire team's process of bringing ownership."

The coach can give instructions to participate in defense, but there are many things that the player has to enlighten himself. If Mbappe does not change on his own, the burden on other colleagues will inevitably increase. Jude Bellingham is currently the player who relieves Mbappe's defensive burden in Real. As a result, Bellingham's offensive points have plummeted this season. Even so, Mbappe is not able to make up for Bellingham's loss of attack.
