Mijatovic Announces What Vinicius's Problem with Mbappé Is: 'Since He Arrived...'

He points out what is happening between the two players, and it is a danger for Real Madrid

It usually happens that when there is a major setback for Real Madrid, many seek to attack several players. The ones receiving the most criticism are Mbappé and Vinicius for their lack of defensive participation. However, some have gone a bit further and revealed the big problem.

It was Mijatovic who spoke about Mbappé and Vinicius, and especially about the major problem they have. He believes that the arrival of the Frenchman has harmed the Brazilian this season. That's why we are not seeing the '7' of Madrid at the same level he showed a year ago.

On Cadena Ser, the former Real Madrid footballer analyzed the causes of their performance and the decline they have experienced. "Since Mbappé's arrival, Vinicius has been a bit afraid, to know what to do now” he pointed out. He believes he did it “to try to convince Madrid fans of who is better."

This pressure to please and compare himself with Mbappé is directly taking a toll on Vinicius. “They haven't performed as we wanted” he added, also pointing to the Frenchman who wouldn't be showing his full potential. It seems that the two together are not working for Mijatovic.

Mijatovic Criticizes Real Madrid for Their Performance Against Arsenal

Mijatovic was very upset about the match Real Madrid played against Arsenal at the Emirates. "I haven't seen Real Madrid play a Champions match like this in a long time, without creating any opportunities" he assured. But he went on to talk about a “short result” after what was seen.

Part of his criticism was also directed at Ancelotti, who he believes hasn't dared to bench the big stars. "In a big team like Real Madrid, there have always been starters and substitutes, like Nacho or Guti, super substitutes," Mijatovic said.

"Ancelotti expects more from some players who are neither physically nor mentally well to perform as he likes” he continued. He believes that this “creates confusion and lack of confidence,” which the team ended up paying for. Therefore, he points out that the coach will have to make important decisions in this regard.
