It's hard for Mbappe to go to Real Madrid! Manchester United may be the best choice, and Paris is expected to be reborn
Although his contract with Paris could theoretically last until 2025, Mbappe wrote to inform the team that he would not carry out the option of a third-year extension, leaving him free in the summer of 2024.
Paris are outraged, and the team could sell Mbappe in the summer window. As Qatari capital gets closer and closer to completing the Manchester United acquisition, perhaps the Frenchman's next stop is not Real Madrid, but the Premier League.
01. Going to Real Madrid? Is there still a place for Mbappe?
a. Venicius status promotion: Mbappe is difficult to coexist
Mbappe's personal first choice should be to move to Real Madrid. However, with Benzema's departure, Mbappe is really not the best choice for Real Madrid.
After all, under Real Madrid's tactical system, the position of left winger is given to Venicius, but Mbappe cannot really do Benzema's ball and playmaking.
Venius already has a strong ability to change his pace when it comes to attacking with the ball after a relative retreat.
He has also been a key figure in Real Madrid's overall pace in the Champions League conversation over the past two years. But Venicius is really an attacking starting point, and his final pass is still a little off, and it is unlikely that he will be the man behind Mbappe.
At the same time, when Venicius is attacking, his best area to hold the ball is not in the box, after all, his strength and body are not particularly advantageous.
Scoring the ball in a relatively outside position can have a certain amount of starting space with the ball, which is more suitable for Venicius' technical characteristics and is also conducive to releasing his physical advantage.
Obviously, Venicius's receiving area completely overlaps with Mbappe. Under such circumstances, if Real Madrid buy Mbappe, it will bring many problems.
If Florentino decides to buy Mbappe, it may lead to more ups and downs in Real Madrid's rise in the Champions League in recent years.
b. Mbappé's error rate is not low: resources are needed
According to the statistics of the Champions League, Mbappe, who averaged 49 times per game, conceded the ball 14.6 times, almost 1 time every 3 times.
The 52% success rate is acceptable, the problem is that Mbappe needs more space to fight back and a certain amount of resources to give him a chance.
The characteristics of Real Madrid midfielders Modric and Kroos are also not suitable for Mbappe's style of play. If the young Bellingham, Camavinga and others are allowed to lead, Real Madrid lacks a playmaker who can hold the ball in front.
If Mbappe wants to go to the wing to get the ball, but he is reluctant to defend, after a mistake, Real Madrid need a centre-forward who can defend back.
At the same time, after Mbappe goes to the wing, he likes to accelerate the bottom cross or cross cross, without Benzema, Venisius is not a suitable person to save in front of goal, Real Madrid's resource allocation will have many problems.
Technically, Mbappe needs a dynamic attacking core to drive him into play. France's Griezmann (who can also rely on penalties, of course) and Paris' Neymar are all such characters.
From this wave of attack, Neymar moves to the center after taking the ball on the left, followed by running towards Mbappe to receive the ball (the partner must run more than Mbappe). Finally, when Mbappe took off the penalty area, he sent a brilliant overshot to bring the former's beautiful shot to score.
Mbappe's speed and decisiveness in the last shot are among the best in football today, but it is extremely important to have someone who drives him to speed.
02. Will Mbappe go to Manchester United? Qatari capital ownership is key
a. Mbappe to Manchester United? Paris can get face and lizi
Although a year ago, Mbappe renewed his contract with Paris until 2025. But this is a 2+1 contract, and Mbappe has the right to decide this summer whether to carry out the renewal option.
The non-implementation of the written notice left Mbappe with Paris with only one year.
Although Mbappe is eager to join Real Madrid, with the current structure of Real Madrid, they may not be willing to pay a sky-high transfer fee to buy him.
In contrast, Mbappe's move to Manchester United has been warming up since the winter window. Even in the predictions of many media, this is a very likely outcome.
In terms of Manchester United's change of ownership, Qatari Capital is getting closer to completion. Sheikh Jassim raised his offer, and local Qatari media thought the official announcement was imminent.
Against this backdrop, it will be much easier for Manchester United's new owners to negotiate Mbappe's transfer fee with Paris. It may also be a good opportunity to give Paris face and the new owner of Manchester United to make a name for himself.
b. Under Manchester United's system: Kylian Mbappe and Marcus Rashford can try to change positions more
Compared with Real Madrid, Manchester United's tactics pay more attention to counter-attack speed and sharpness, which is more in line with Mbappe's technical characteristics. At the same time, Rashford is more suitable to be placed directly in front of the protrusion than Venicius.
After all, Marcus Rashford and Mbappe can switch positions at any time, and Manchester United also prefer to play counter-attacks, which is different from Real Madrid.
Manchester United is a team that pays attention to the tradition of England, and the technical characteristics of the team's midfield leader B Fei are also acceleration and long passes.
This kind of assist for Marcus Rashford can also reach Mbappe's feet. In terms of technical characteristics and squad style, Mbappe's integration into Manchester United is not difficult.
Under Ten Hag's tactical system, all 11 players need to be involved in defense. I don't know if Mbappe will get privileges if he comes over.
03. Without Mbappe, Neymar Health Paris can fight
While Mbappe may leave Paris, that doesn't mean the squad is really about to fall apart.
If Neymar stays in the end, in fact, this Paris team still has a chance to play well. In Ligue 1 this season, Neymar has 0.64 assists per 90 minutes, making him the passer with the most goals.
If the team is built around Neymar, all Paris has to do is buy another striker, and the rest is to pray that the Brazilian stays healthy (anyway, even with Mbappe, Neymar is not healthy, and the team has not won anything).
Knowing that the team has already acquired Skriniar on a visa-free basis, the defensive line will become more solid next season.
The combination of Donnarumma, Marquinhos, Skriniar, Mendes and Ashraf, plus Andreas Pereira can provide a boost or rotation so that the team's floor is not too low.
If the striker can add strong reinforcements such as Osmeyne or Lautaro, this Paris team still has the strength to fight.
Provided Neymar can stay while he stays healthy.
In addition to Skriniar, Paris also bought Uruguay international Ugarte in midfield and signed former Real Madrid attacker Asensio, both of whom will be in the squad for next season.
The former can provide physical confrontation in midfield, while the latter will be a weapon for the rhythm change of the backhand.
Conclusion:
If Mbappe stays in the team for a year, the current squad of Paris is still relatively complete from the perspective of team building. If Mbappe leaves, bring back a transfer fee. Then Paris is on the front line, and there is also the possibility of bringing in reinforcements.
As for whether Mbappe's next home is Real Madrid, Manchester United, or other teams, it will also be the biggest attraction in the transfer market this summer.
