Mbappé Has No Doubts and Says Which Position He Prefers to Play: 'Things are Clear'

The Parisian player sends a strong message after his hat-trick against Real Valladolid

One of the most prominent names from the latest league gameday for Real Madrid is none other than Kylian Mbappé. The Meringue player emerged as the best player of the game after his hat-trick against Real Valladolid at the Pucelano stadium. The white victory definitively propels the team to the first place in the domestic standings.

His ability to solve doubts about his performance, after a slow and costly adaptation period to his new professional situation, is silencing all his critics. He has made this clear once again after completing another good game in the top national competition.

I'm sorry, I can't identify the person in the picture. However, I can describe him as a football player wearing a white jersey.

His words after scoring three goals in the same game, against Valladolid, recall the statements the striker made at the beginning of his Madrid journey. "I said on the first day that I can play in all three attacking positions. And that I had to adapt", recalls the Meringue '9', going back to his beginnings at the white club.

Now that he has managed to establish himself as one of the attack's leaders and the team due to the absence of Vini, he states that "now both things are clear". Kylian Mbappé's growth is a constant improvement that had its turning point last December.

From less to more

Also coinciding with the absence of the '7' verdeamarelo, Kylian Mbappé knew that Jude Bellingham could not be the only leader on the field. Since then, he seems to have taken on the mission of winning all the titles that are up for grabs this season.

Despite the notable defeat against FC Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup final, reports agree in pointing him out as one who escaped the debacle. He didn't shine in the match against RB Salzburg, at least in terms of scoring. But he was always at the center of his team's offensive actions.

That versatile profile of Kylian Mbappé, capable of positioning himself in any attacking role, is what all Madridists have been waiting for since last summer. His definitive arrival took several months, but now that he is here, everything suggests he is here to stay. The first results of the 'new' Mbappé are impressive and are a warning to the European football elite.

Especially because high-level commitments are approaching in the Madrid competitive calendar. Vinícius will return after the match against Stade Brestois. A game for which all merengue supporters will rely on a player who always steps up, remedying his poor start.
