Valdano explains why Mbappé and Vinicius don’t connect on the pitch

From the moment Mbappé arrived in Real Madrid, talk about how Ancelotti would succeed in ensuring the two stars on the field. A debate and controversy that continues to this day.

Each gesture, every look, every action between the two is investigated. The spotlights are on them, and the issue of their connection remains on the field. Jorge Valdano participated in this debate about the Mbappé-Vinicius connection on the field on the 'El Tercer Tiempo' by Movistar to give his personal view of the case. “They are two players who have a better relationship with the opposite goal than with the game than in the collaboration. They are accused of not finding each other, but that has to do with their characteristics. They are two great sprinters and they have a target score streak in their sights.

The nature of his game

In this respect, Valdano gives the example of a player whose greatest virtue is Association, who of making the people around him better and the search for a connection with which they can get affordable positions to use their qualities when defining plays. “There are other players, such as Bellingham, who constantly present partnerships. And it is with him that we have had most situations with one-two and partnership. Because it is in the nature of the game. It is very difficult to get a player of his nature. They run around the field was Chinese torture.

Their friendship

What Valdano is clear about is that the personal relationship has nothing to do with the connection that Vinicius and Mbappé have on the field. A personal reason completely separates him from the debate about their understanding on the field. “The accusation that they are not close enough because they are not looking for each other is not fair. I am not going there. I do not know what level of complicity they have from the field, but complicity is not mandatory in the dressing room. I have seen that players have very difficult relationships, but they understood each other because there was a football connection.”
