Ronaldo analyses Mbappe at Real Madrid
French star Kylian Mbappe joined Real Madrid as a free agent at the start of the season and despite scoring goals has not settled fully at the Spanish capital club.
Ronaldo has shared his thoughts on Mbappe, claiming he is played out of position and that he would have taught him how to play as a striker if he was still at the club.
“The forward position makes things a bit complicated for Mbappe because he doesn’t know how to play as a forward in my opinion… It’s not that he doesn’t know how, it’s not his position,” he told El Chiringuito, as quoted by Goal.

“If I were at Real Madrid I would teach him to play as a nine. Because I wasn’t a striker. I got used to playing as a striker. I used to play on the wing and people forget. Kylian shouldn’t be a typical striker. If I were him, I would play more or less like Cristiano Ronaldo plays as a striker.”
As noted by Transfermarkt, despite the criticisms, the 2018 World Cup winner has scored 21 goals and three assists in 33 games in all competitions this season.
