How Mbappe has usurped Vini to become the leader of the Real dressing room

Real Madrid passed Real Valladolid on Saturday evening with a 3-0 win, thanks to Kylian Mbappé's first hat trick for Los Blancos. After a difficult first few months in the Spanish capital, Mbappe has adapted to life at the club, and that can be seen on the field, with a return to his old self.

While the Mbappé shares are rising, the Vinicius Junior shares are starting to fall. The Brazilian was sent away against Valencia in their first game of the year and missed the last two LA Liga matches against Las Palmas and Valladolid-perhaps the two best performance of Mbappé of the season.

Although the discussion about whether Real Madrid seems to be a more complete team without Vinicius seems to be far -fetched, Cadena SER has reported that Mbappé Vinicius has replaced as the leader of the dressing room of Real Madrid. Despite his initial struggle for form, Mbappé's personality has won his teammates.

The French superstar is relaxed, a natural talent for the media, and has since his arrival in Spain avoided controversies, with the exception of his journey to Sweden during an international break. His easy way of dealing with him and his silent confidence have made him a natural leader. This is in contrast with Vinicius Junior, who will also have to miss the Champions League match with Brest this week due to suspension.

The battle of the Brazilian to keep his emotions under control, his poor discipline and the habit of placing himself at the center of interest instead of the team, are somewhat tired of Real Madrid's dressing room. Now that Mbappé Vinicius challenges in the field of performance, Vinicius has lost some weight in the dressing room.

Real Madrid and in particular Carlo Ancelotti have followed a thin line between supporting Vinicius in difficult times, of course the wave of racist abuse that he has received most strikingly, and healthy criticism. The Italian and teammates of Vinicius have noted on various occasions that Vinicius is learning and tries to keep himself under control in public, but this season he was booked and sent away ten times.
