In this round of La Liga, Barcelona defeated Espanyol 3-1, and due to the postponement of Real Madrid's game due to heavy rain, Barcelona, which has one more game, has led the standings with 9 points. Real Madrid knew that the backline was understaffed this season, but still insisted on signing Mbappe, but the three left wingers "ran out of water", resulting in an imbalance in the team's attack and defense, a bit of a stretch in the record, and even the possibility of the four major empty seasons.
According to the latest report from Spanish media outlet Relevo, Carlo Ancelotti has determined that new signing Kylian Mbappe is an important reason for Real Madrid's poor performance this season. Carlo Ancelotti believes that Mbappe has not made any effort in defence, which has seriously affected the balance of the team. Real Madrid are concerned about this, because Mbappe always lacks retreat when the team switches from attack to defense, which leads to more defensive tasks and more difficult running by other Real Madrid teammates, which also disrupts the way the team grabs the ball. The biggest victim of Mbappe's joining is Bellingham, who scored a lot of goals last season and has scored 0 goals so far this season.
Real Madrid have confidence in Mbappe but hope he can be self-critical and integrate into the team quickly, better execute Carlo Ancelotti's tactical demands and prove that he is as important in attack as he is in defence.
Finally, the soul asks, do you think Real Madrid's introduction of Mbappe in this summer window is an important reason for the team's offensive and defensive imbalance?
