Marca: Mbappe does not consider himself a pure center, Alonso s tactical philosophy coincides with him

Mbappe is about to take over the No. 10 jersey. According to Marca, although Mbappe scored many goals, he does not consider himself a typical center and hopes to participate more in the game.

In fact, although Mbappe was happy to wear No. 9 before, he never regarded himself as a center. With his strength, speed and ability to break through the ball, Mbappe has established a strong left position worldwide. He truly showed this trait at the 2018 World Cup in Russia. But over the years, he has been making continuous progress. After coming to Real Madrid, he found that Vinicius was the dominant leader on the left.

It is more like a reference for Mbappe to wear No. 9 in Real Madrid, and Ancelotti gives him freedom on the offensive end. In 2025, he regained his vitality, which coincided with the decline of the Brazilian. Mbappe won the European Golden Boot and La Liga Golden Boot.

Mbappe performed less under Alonso, so he would have to wait until the start of the season to see how well he matched No. 10. It is obvious that Alonso and Mbappe have the same idea because the coach pursues the freedom of the ball control, midfield dominance and the frontcourt trident.
