Playing as Number 9, Is It An Issue? Mbappé’s Response

Paris Saint-Germain’s coach, Luis Enrique, has shifted Kylian Mbappé to the center-forward position. Mbappé assures there’s no problem with the adjustment.

No Pivot Gang this season, and no controversy. Kylian Mbappé claims there’s no discord with Luis Enrique after being repositioned as the central figure in PSG’s attack. « The coach came with clear ideas, but with a lot of ideas. The time it takes to assimilate all of that, as good as the players may be, it takes time. I think we’re starting to see interesting things. It’s much more structured. We see at the level of offensive organization, we see the patterns, we see that something is taking shape, right? Maybe I’m crazy, » he remarked.

« When I talk to him, he says that a good player can play in multiple positions. I think I’m a good player, not bad. So, I’ve played in several positions this year. Today, I played in the center. What’s good is that, no matter the position you play, he adapts according to the player’s qualities, so you’re not out of your element. »

« So, he wants me to play in the center, play on the left, play on the right, I’ll play. And I think I won’t have any problems being successful. »
