Kylian Mbapp\u00e9, who has faced challenges since joining Real Madrid, recently encountered criticism following a disappointing performance in the Clasico at the Bernabeu. Before the match against AC Milan, his former French teammate, Karim Benzema, warned the club about a significant issue concerning the forward from Bondy.<\/p>\n
Karim Benzema, a Real Madrid legend, is remembered for carrying the team after Cristiano Ronaldo\u2019s departure. Now at Al Ittihad, Benzema\u2019s iconic 2021\/2022 season, which included a Champions League title and a Ballon d\u2019Or, is still held in high regard by Madrid fans. Despite his move to Saudi Arabia, Benzema continues to follow Real Madrid closely. He shared his thoughts in a detailed interview with El Chiringuito, discussing Mbapp\u00e9\u2019s mixed start at the club.<\/p>\n
After his high-profile summer transfer from Paris Saint-Germain, Mbapp\u00e9 has struggled to make an impact in Real Madrid\u2019s attack. The fans, disappointed by his performance in the La Liga match against FC Barcelona, are starting to voice their frustrations with the 2018 World Cup champion. Benzema, who has played alongside Mbapp\u00e9 with the French national team, is not surprised by the difficulties, but he offers an analysis of the situation.<\/p>\n
Benzema believes that Mbapp\u00e9 is not suited to play as a center-forward, a role he has struggled with when played in that position for France. According to Benzema, Mbapp\u00e9\u2019s best performances have come when he plays on the left wing, a position currently occupied by Vin\u00edcius Jr. at Real Madrid. He acknowledges the challenge of fitting both players into the same lineup, as Vin\u00edcius, in Benzema\u2019s view, is irreplaceable on the left wing.<\/p>\n
Benzema also suggests that Mbapp\u00e9 must adapt to his new reality in Madrid, acknowledging the intense pressure he faces. He advises the Frenchman to embrace the role of a central forward, despite his previous success on the left. Benzema notes that the pressure in Madrid is immense, much greater than what he experienced at a younger age, and warns Mbapp\u00e9 that if he doesn\u2019t start scoring, he will quickly face intense scrutiny from the fans and media.Finally, Benzema encourages Mbapp\u00e9 to manage the pressure and use it as motivation, emphasizing that he has the talent and ability to succeed at Real Madrid. Benzema believes Mbapp\u00e9 can meet the challenge and achieve success with the club.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
