Mbappe And Vinicius Junior Pass To Each Other More Than They Should – Jorge Valdano

Ex-Real Madrid player, Jorge Valdano has come out to weigh in on Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Junior’s connection issues at the club. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, certain types of attacking players excel when focused purely on scoring, rather than being expected to contribute extensively to build-up play, and that is why Mbappe and Vini are constantly accused of not connecting well enough.

Jorge added that same happened with Brazilian legends, Ronaldo Nazario and Romario when they trained under him.

His words, “They are two players who have a better relationship with the opposing goal than with the game, than with the association. They are accused of not finding each other, but that has to do with their characteristics. They are two great sprinters and they have the goal between their eyebrows.

What’s more, sometimes I have the feeling that they exaggerate the search for each other when the play calls for a shot instead of a pass. In fact, it seems that in order for them to be considered innocent, they look for each other more than they should.

It is also said that Vinicius and Mbappe do not run enough, but it is impossible for these players to run with endurance efforts. I trained Romario and I had Ronaldo at Madrid, and making them run around the field was a Chinese torture. They couldn’t, they couldn’t. What’s more, if you played a possession game they would completely ignore it. Now, you put a goal against them in training and they were the best in the world. What you have to do is exploit what they were bought for.

The accusation that they are not sufficient friends because they do not seek each other out does not fit. I am not going there. I do not know what degree of complicity they will have off the pitch, but the fact is that complicity is not obligatory in the locker room. I have known very difficult relationships between players, but on the pitch they understood each other because there was a footballing harmony.”

WOW.

Real Madrid Club de Fútbol, commonly referred to as Real Madrid, is a Spanish professional football club based in Madrid. The club competes in La Liga, the top tier of Spanish football.

Real Madrid has maintained the white shirt for its home kit throughout the history of the club. There was, however, one season that the shirt and shorts were not both white. It was an initiative undertaken by Juan Padrós in honor of an English team Corinthian F.C., which he had met on one of his trips, one of the most famous teams at the time known for its elegance and sportsmanship.

It was under Florentino Pérez’s first presidency (2000–2006) that Real Madrid started its ambition of becoming the world’s richest professional football club. The club ceded part of its training grounds to the city of Madrid in 2001, and sold the rest to four corporations: Repsol YPF, Mutua Automovilística de Madrid, Sacyr Vallehermoso and OHL.

Hala Madrid is a magazine published quarterly for the Real Madrid club members and the Madridistas Fan Club card holders. The phrase Hala Madrid, meaning “Forward Madrid” or “Go Madrid”, is also the title of the club’s official anthem, which is often sung by the Madridistas (the club’s fans).
