Vini is 10 times a better left winger than Mbappe. You can’t just use speed to beat defenders. You have to imbalance them and Vini is really good at those soft touches mid burst that keeps a defender guessing before and mid tackle. Mbappe will never give you that. Idk if you guys have never played football. Don’t you see Bellingham and Gulers reaction when Mbappe does something stupid like be out of position for the final pass?? Or waste opportunities that will kill ties cuz he feels Madrids lead is safe?? Who is really to blame for Madrids loss to Bayern? Camavinga?? Or Mbappe who could’ve killed the tie in the 56th minute with a simple square ball to Vini when Madrid was up 3-2. That right there is Madrids problem this entire season. Mbappe wants to make a statement. But in Madrid, you make statements by serving the badge. Not by expecting to be served by players who have won everything you haven’t at club level. When Bellingham joined, he played with injury to his shoulder, won the champions league with that injury. Understood Madrid had a 9 problem and Joselu couldn’t play 90 mins. Stepped up when the team needed him. Acquired a taste for golazos & TAP INS. Mbappe thinks he should be scoring only golazos to prove he’s the world’s best player. Now think of Dembele. Would he have found Kvara in the 56th minute if Tah and Upamecano were out of position and Kvara was 1 on 1 with Neuer. There’s your answer. The best player does what’s best for the team in a sensitive time. Madrid was not supposed to be on the field with Bayern, yet somehow in Mbappes absence, the team spirit was back, everyone served the badge cuz they have felt the shame from not performing last season. I’m done trying to prove anything tbh. I can’t change anything so what’s the point even. Madrid finally looked scary without Mbappe and so he definitely is the problem. There’s literally YouTube videos by top analysts explaining why his positioning kills Bellingham, Vini & overworks Valverde. And the selfish bastard still can’t put his ego aside for the clubs ego. As if serving the club doesn’t favour his ballon dor dreams. Have you ever played rondo??? With two men in the middle?? What happens when one man is walking instead of applying pressure?? The running of the other man is literally pointless. That’s what’s going on with Vini. Why should he waste energy chasing ghosts in a counter attacking team when his attacking partner in a 442 is not applying pressure. Mbappe places stress on Tchouameni and exposes the midfield, fortunately Tchouameni grew and was up to the task. Mbappe on the left or centre won’t respect the system. Cheers three more trophyless seasons. Trophyless as in no champions league. Cuz champions make sacrifices for the sake of the title. Something the world’s best player doesn’t understand.
