5 things Kylian Mbappe would improve at Real Madrid

The Frenchman is a player who could improve any side he plays in.

There is not a single young player on the market that is in the same caliber as Kylian Mbappe at the moment.

Kylian Mbappe has conquered the footballing world in recent seasons, even going as far as winning the biggest honour, the World Cup. He owes a large part of his success to the French footballing pyramid. Having honed his craft with Monaco on the European stage, he quickly gained the recognition of France’s biggest club, Paris Saint-Germain. It was the Parisians who trusted him, however, every bird must leave their cage at some point.

The next destination for Mbappe is thought to be La Liga. It is a big step up from France, especially joining either Real Madrid or Barcelona. However, he is at this stage in his career already.

Here are the 5 things Kylian Mbappe would improve at Real Madrid.

1. Bring a different spice

Right now, Real Madrid have Karim Benzema to play with. This is by no means a bad situation since the Frenchman is one of the best strikers in the world. He is a consistent talisman and he has a lot of fuel still left in the tank. However, even the best teams in the world need a plan B.

Kylian Mbappe is a completely different player to Benzema. While Benzema attracts the ball to his feet, Mbappe would rather work to find the best areas of space. To achieve this, he thankfully has lightning-fast speed and the footballing intelligence to know when to get the win over his man.

Once in space, Mbappe has plenty of aplomb. All this will require is a main creator, which Real Madrid have plenty of options for. In fact, this could give new signing Hazard his master status at the Santiago Bernabeu, him and Mbappe forming the best kind of working relationship.

2. Study from the best

Zidane has brought many great things to Real Madrid, both as a player and as a manager. While they had plenty of it in the first place, one of the things which Zidane has improved is their pulling power. Players want to play under him, since he is a good manager and has experience of being one of the best midfielders in history.

While they play in completely different positions, Mbappe is at the age where he would have grown up watching Zidane play for his country and probably idolized him for his work on the ball. Having a mentor one can relate to is essential for a young player. Thomas Tuchel is an excellent manager when it comes to young players, however, Zidane has to get the nod due to sentimentality.

3. Help Vinicius reach his heights

Signing Kylian Mbappe would seem like a waste of potential in one of the youngsters Real Madrid already possess, Vinicius Junior. The young Brazilian is thought to become one of the best players in the world within the next decade, already showing signs he can be a regular in the starting XI.

However, new signing Eden Hazard raised a valid concern about Vinicius. He was concerned about his partying lifestyle off the pitch. Obviously, every young player has to live their life but you can only reach the top of the footballing ladder with the correct discipline. Vinicius will learn better when he has an example to look at. In his age group, there is no one better to look up to than Kylian Mbappe. Having the two of them heading into the future will only bring fruitful results for Los Blancos.

4. Give a helping hand in the Champions League

Real Madrid are mostly known for their consistent successes in the Champions League. While they will always fight to achieve the most in La Liga, any club would favor European success than domestic success. In fact, under Zinedine Zidane, Los Blancos got their hands on three consecutive Champions League titles.

This is a competition which has served Mbappe well. He got world recognition when he started to set the competition alight with Monaco. Alongside the likes of Thomas Lemar and Bernardo Silva, the young Frenchman became one of the most exciting prodigies, scoring against the likes of Juventus and Manchester City. That said, Mbappe and Real Madrid are a match made in heaven. They both want the same thing: Champions League successs.

5. Bring experience by playing with many greatest

Not many young players can say they’ve played alongside some of the highest caliber names in football. However, Kylian Mbappe can say that with nothing but the truth. He has already played alongside the likes of Radamel Falcao, Neymar and Angel di Maria during his short-lived career. Every player he’s played alongside has acted as a mentor to his career, so it’s no wonder he has achieved so much at the age of 20.

He will look to put every lesson he’s learnt into practice. particularly if he were to sign for Real Madrid. This is just another way in which Mbappe could bring out the best in Vinicius, Militao, Rodrygo, Mendy and other Real Madrid young stars.
