Kylian Mbappé

[Temptation]

Hazard flopped because of constant injuries.

Mbappe has not been top level post World Cup. It’s been basically two years where his reputation precedes him and the current player is much different.

He actually looks shot of all confidence, gets caught offside really easily and just goes through the motions in games. Currently no defenders fear him whatsoever.

Yeah as if he arrived at Madrid in top shape and not like he'd been at McDonalds every day.

Madrid:

optimized for vini > optimized for bellingham >>>>>>>>>>> optimized for mbappe

Madrid are nowhere close to optimised for Mbappe is the added problem even considering he's adding to it

This cat is done

Well they're not really optimised for Vinicius or Bellingham either in that sense, but right now it's clear that the output of Mbappe is what they're trying to maximise compared to anyone else on the team.

he wasted his talent 😪

 

[El Gato]

When Vinicius fit it's clear they're set up best to get most out of him, not Mbappe. And in a 4-3-3 when Rodry performing well enough to not sacrifice a forward for a midfielder, team is not set up for Bellingham
So yeah, Vini still by some margin the core of the offense with rest forced to adjust in some form or fashion

Which is amusing as been saying all along - Mbappe will go through this period of being asked to play RF/CF and will be asked to adjust. So far not working well. Remains to be seen how it'll progress

Everybody scared of Mbappe because they think with a FIFA mindset.

Mbappe/Vini/Rodrygo aren't going to press at all. Look at Messi/Neymar/Mbappe PSG they weren't that great.

Take into account Modric is leaving. This has the booking of Zidane era Galacticos failure all over it.

La Masia is producing the next golden generation before our eyes. Let them buy and let Barca produce.

I called this in Feb 2024 I guess you can say I know ball.
