Former striker Karim Benzema emphasized that Kylian Mbappe needs to adapt to being a central striker at Real Madrid, as he cannot replace Vinicius Junior on the left, stating that Mbappe struggles as a number nine and is under pressure to perform with fewer goals in recent matches.
Benzema articulated the challenge Mbappe faces by highlighting Vinicius's significant contributions when playing left wing, asserting that Vinicius cannot be shifted from that role, which creates a dilemma for Mbappe's position at the club.
He cautioned that if Mbappe goes two or three games without scoring, he will encounter significant challenges, underscoring the heightened expectations placed on him now compared to his former club, Paris St-Germain.
Reflecting on the importance of his current role, Benzema noted that at Real Madrid, Mbappe must navigate a different pressure landscape, indicating that consistency in performance is crucial to avoid scrutiny.
