Real Madrid: worrying revelation about the Mbappé – Vinicius relationship

If Real Madrid won yesterday, the merengue club does not reassure and above all, worrying doubts surround the Mbappé – Vinicius relationship.

While Kylian Mbappé slightly reassured yesterday against Rayo but is going through a generally complicated period at Real Madrid, unexpected tensions are emerging with Vinicius Jr. According to several sources, the relationship between the two attacking stars is not as harmonious as is being suggested. “They want to sell us a brotherhood that does not exist,” says journalist Anton Meana on Cadena SER, highlighting a climate far from perfect understanding.

Mbappé, despite some flashes of genius, is struggling to fully convince on the pitch. His last match against Rayo Vallecano is a striking example: although he scored, his level of play was considered disappointing by several analysts. “He is not up to par,” says Antón Meana, who also points out that the pressure from the Madrid crowd seems stronger on him than on Vinicius in the event of a mistake.

Two players too individualistic?
But it is above all the dynamic between the two players that is worrying. “They do not seek each other out, do not find each other, and do not associate as two of the best wingers in the world should do,” laments Meana. A situation confirmed by another journalist Javier Herráez, who notes that each seems to prioritize their personal success rather than the collective interest: “If possible, they play their own card.”

Antonio Romero, however, tempers this analysis, explaining that their similar positioning on the field can be a source of misunderstanding: “Sometimes, they seek each other out too much.” He nevertheless believes that this still shaky tactical relationship will eventually improve with time. Bruno Alemany, for his part, points the finger at Mbappé’s irregular performance, particularly in the second half against Rayo: “He missed basic controls, dribbles unworthy of his level. » Could this lack of chemistry between Mbappé and Vinicius slow down Real Madrid’s ambitions? If the situation does not improve, these tensions risk weighing heavily on the team’s performances and on Mbappé’s future at the club.
