“We assume that everything would happen for Kilian, his club and in general football”, – WRITE: Sport.ua
So this material is about what football would be this season if last summer PSG still persuaded his main star to stay in France. Of course, without categorical, because it is still an assumption, but with bold statements. The first is ready to throw now: if it were not for Mbappe, the season would be different and much less generous in high -profile events and sensations.
Real would have escaped a failure
Wait, do not throw tomatoes. I agree that Mbappe is not the only reason for Real Madrid problems. However, then let’s define all the main ones. The first is the completion of Crooos career. Less brains in the center of the field, less ideas on the ball. The second is the absence of a profile central attacker. The penalty area was empty, so it just responds to the shot and serving. The third is the injuries of the football players of the defense line. The defense was represented by spare. And some problems could be solved at least partially. No Kroos? Attack easier. Less time with the ball, more rapid attacks in space, where creative is inferior to the speed of the legs. There are no strong defenders due to damage? Defend in the average block, as Dynamo made against Shakhtar in the Final of the Cup of Ukraine and almost perfectly restrained the opponent all 120 minutes of the game. Or, even in the press in the other’s half of the field. The main idea: let defense actions be attacked and midfield. Then the defenders will have less opportunities to be mistaken.
But Mbappe came – and everything was covered. First, because Perez “resolved” the issue of the central striker. If even Acholotti asked the President for the acquisition of a classic “nine”, he would refuse and point to Mbappe. Kilian is a steep forward. But when the penalty area goes to the penalty area, he will not lock it, because he is not the one who completes. It is involved in creation, its clogged balls are heavier. And it’s cool. However, without simple goals, when your forward will push the round at the gate almost from the gate line, the championship is not won. Mbapp scored 31 goals in LL, Lewandowski – 27, but the score of the score from the borders – 1: 7 in favor of the Pole. Although both play in the center of the attack. Due to the absence of Kilian on the edge of Real, he lost several goals. As a result, last season, without Mbappe and from Joselo, Madrid scored 87 goals in the league, and this season only 78. The Frenchman guarantees goals, but does not play as a pure “nine”.
Secondly, with Mbappe Acholotti was unable to realize the ideas I mentioned above. To work more without a ball to contradaciate a lot, not an option if one of your players falls out and does not help in defense. And the defenders can only be blown up on the condition of playing in pressing – and it is launched by the attackers, starting with the central one. And now I do not come up with it: Real Madrid added to the Pressing Indicators in comparison with the last season. Not because of Mbappe, in which, to put it mildly, neo -heating figures here – but because of the decision of Acholotti to defend this way. Carlo for many years, and he is far from a fool to break something that works. Earlier, Real was defended without pressing (overlapping the gear lines), and this season tried to defend this way – and did not work. Ancelotti probably responded to injuries in defense. Could it work? Yes. But from Mbappe on the field – no. Kilian is not the cause of all Real Madrid problems, but it was through it that the team and personally Ancelotti could not solve these problems all season.
If the Frenchman did not come, Real would still lose many points in the fall. Because Kroos went. Because the defenders flew. Because it is unlikely that Jesela would score every week. However, Madrids always start it in the season. For example, the last defeat in the championship in September was lost, and the posts were lost in the Autumn, even against Shakhtar. Real Madrid for any coach-to recruit during the season. And he would pick up. Anchelotti would simplify the game. He would be able to put pressing. Vini would also be more heads, because we have 2 neighboring seasons, where the Brazilian is the first and second star of the team, and he brought more benefits when he was Prima. In the spring, Real would play football, not just present on the field. Then he would probably win in one of the spring El class. I assume that he would still lose La Liga “Barcelona”, but could take the cup and would definitely give the battle of Arsenal in the Champions League. Because earlier almost the same composition with the same coach was already created miracles. They could not.
Mbappe would have more scored heads
Getty Images/Global Images Ukraine Kilian scored 31 in Laiga-more than anyone in the top liga of Europe. That’s yes, but it might be even more. PSG has broken the League 1 this season. There are records and close to record indicators. But the main thing is 92 scored. It was last in 2019 (105), but there were 38 in the League that year and not 34, as it is now. Well, “PSG” is cool and everything, but the season itself in France is weak. It’s not about competition with the capital, but about the level of other teams. For example, Montpellier flew with 16 points. Strasbourge without strong players to the last rounds claimed a place in the Champions League. Marseille and Monaco were in the top 3, although they lost 9 times, and no one was convincing in the season: the first missed stacks, the second to the New Year and the purchase of Biret made chances the worst in the top-leagues of Europe. In addition, no one fired in Europe. “Monaco”, “Lill” and “Brest” early flew from the playoffs, “Lyon” did not cope with “Mu”, “Lans” even in the main stage of the LC did not pass …
In short, the weak year in France. Once, you can score a lot. Last season, Mbappe scored 27 times in 29 League duels 1. Given the progress of PSG this year (he would be with or without Kilian, because in the second year the idea of Enrique became more clear to the team), the Frenchman would score more-at least 29-30, and if he played more than 30 matches. He already had a season when he scored 33 times in 29 rounds of League 1, so it would be a call for him to repeat such a result, but he would have coped. And it would be the best scorer of the top-league. He would also score more in the France’s Cup, as an option – and in the Champions League. So Kilian, speaking of personal statistics, even lost something because of moving to Spain. By the way, the assistants also regress-3 in LL this season, although in each of the 8th previous seasons there were at least 5 in the championship. That is, “Real” really used Mbappe as a finisher. And he can also give goals. And I would give if he had stayed in Paris.
PSG would not play in the escape finale
As I wrote above, the PSG would have played better for the second year with Enrique. In the summer, the team increased Pacho (the best player of the Champions League by the number of ball returns) and not (o The bottom of the most creative “eight” of Europe). These transfers would have happened even if Mbapp remained in the team. Plus, a weak year for other L1 clubs. So it turns out that PSG would progress and won. The only question is: how strong? We know that without Mbappe some players have gone to a new level. This is, first and foremost, Dembele, who played in the center of attack – and if Kilian was present, he would continue to perform on the flank. And with Mbappe, the Parisian attack line would be fully completed – and in the winter he would not move to Paris (he would not even have been offered a proposal). In this case, he would have won the series A with Napoli … However, he came to help PSG to go as far as possible at the Champions League. And helped.
Quazzhelia worked in defense against Arsenal in the semifinals. Would Mbappe if you played in this position? No. Dembele in the first game against the Gunners scored after the attack he himself dispersed, offering himself to the pass below the central line of the field. Would Mbappe be there? No. One of the goat “PSG” is a cool game without a ball. The team is able to defend themselves with pressing, and against the Arsenal segments looked good in positional defense. Could she do it all with Mbappe in the composition? No. We have seen the protection of Paris with Kilian over the years – it was worse. Well, you can navigate to yourself that the Frenchman would decorate doubles and hat tricks in each of the playoffles, which would justify his low involvement in protection … But we always talk about the likelihood. A more likely option is that PSG would fly because he missed too much, as it happened with him almost every year when there was Mbappe. PSG would not be in the finals if the player remained in the club.
ZM – in Salah, Alonso – still in Bayer
The only reason for the discussion about the Golden Ball winner this season is PSG in the Champions League. If the Parisian were not there and they flew into 1/8, the individual award would definitely get Salah, who broke almost all existing records this season of the APL. Because the same Dembele is cool, but only after the new year. Before that, he scored as the average forward, after – as the best striker in the world, and in the decisive moments of important matches. And still everyone looks at the Champions League. Probably, with Mbappe in PSG, he would have come down as a result of a duel with Liverpool – one of Europe’s best teams this season. The French also crawled because they were the best in a penalty series, but they would simply not reach it if there was a kilian on the field-useful in the attack, but unnecessary, when it was necessary to work a lot without a ball (the second match of confrontation, especially the second half, when Donnarumm was released. So, Dembele would fly away, and the salah first went into the quarterfinals, and there – and further. Because this “Liverpool” would cope with the “villa”. And it would be him.
Getty Images/Global Images Ukraine Acholotti left Real Madrid because of unsatisfactory results. Perez and fans expected more, and received 0 large trophies in the season, even the Spain Cup could not be affected. This is a failure. And it cannot be that Carlo was doing normally everywhere, and here Mbappe came – and he decided to forget how to train this year. There is a connection. It is unlikely that Kilian can be called guilty of Ancholotte’s departure, but without this transfer, Carlo would still train Real. At least a year – by the end of your current contract. But they say goodbye to him, and Alonso-a young trainer, who had recently spent his first full season in the top leagues, is pulled into this place. Let’s focus not on the prospects of Real Madrid with Alonso, but on the prospects of Bayer without him. What will happen to the team? It is obvious that it will fall apart. The very decision of the coach to stay at the club after the championship season forced many players to put their transfer to other teams for at least a year. We have lost this Bayer earlier than we could, because of Mbappe transfer.
I’m not a hater Mbappepe
Although you probably thought that it was. But no, I even like it. At least when working with the ball, especially when it starts from the native left flank. I sincerely want him to beat all new records every year. But he went to Real at that moment. He came when the team did not need a left winger because Vinisius was already revealed. He came when the Madrid tried to coal after farewell to Croos. I would like Kilian to be used in a comfortable position for him. And I would like Real Madrid playing cool and winning, but it requires significant changes in the composition and its balance sheet. But, unfortunately, everything happened exactly as it happened. Due to the signing of Mbappe, the Madrids could not rebuild during the season, although it was necessary. Thanks to his departure, PSG was able to add, because he steadily played the map of the absence of a world star in the composition. Kilian himself lost in efficiency. Anchlotti will train Brazil on ChM, and Alonso will not train Bayer. Salah does not win ZM because of Mbappe.
Would the season be better if Mbapp remained in Paris? I don’t know. But he would be different. And precisely less rich in events. Because new places of work for several coaches, and more than usually talk about Real Madrid, and PSG in the Champions League finals, and potential DM for Dembele, all this was made possible by Mbappe to MBAPP. Including the French season, the season seemed so memorable and sensational. Thank him for that.
