Yes, Mbappe is having difficulties because of his new position as a center forward. I also don't understand why Ancelotti put Mbappe as a center forward. In fact, as we know, Mbappe is a very great left winger and this position is of course very attached to Mbappe. So it's natural that Mbappe has difficulty adapting. Because even a player as great as Messi will definitely have big difficulties if his playing position has to be changed. Maybe the reason Mbappe's position has been changed is because Real Madrid has too many great players. So Ancelotti is definitely confused about which position Mbappe will be placed in, and Ancelotti will definitely look at the center forward position. Because in the wing positions there are already Vini and Rodrigo. So it is the striker position that really has a gap at Real Madrid, because Endrick is of course still young and hasn't gotten many playing minutes. Maybe that's why Ancelotti finally placed Mbappe as a center forward.
What do you expect Ancelloti to do since he has two world-class left-sided wingers in his squad, and he can't sell one because both of them are very important to the team?
He will make his decisions based on the two players ' scoring ability since the team has no striker; in terms of scoring ability and talent, Mbappe stands out because he is good at scoring good balls from different angles, he has a good feature of a professional striker, he was playing as a winger and as a striker when he was playing for PSG and his performance made Real Madrid sign him, and therefore, he will have to adapt to that same pattern to play as a striker because I am not expecting Madrid to sell Vinicious Jr for him.
But even so, Mbappe seems comfortable as a center forward. So with this we don't need to worry about Mbappe's new position. Because he is a player who has above average skills. So Mbappe will definitely remain a great player in whatever position he plays. And currently Mbappe has been able to score 5 goals and 1 assist from the 7 matches he has played with Real Madrid. I think this record is not a bad thing for a player playing in his new position. So with this, it is clear that Mbappe seems to be starting to adapt well to Real Madrid or the match atmosphere in Laliga. So for now we just have to wait until Mbappe shows his best performance.
He can play well as a striker and he will score more goals than some strikers in Laliga, but their counterattack movement will be affected because he might be moving like a winger, and might be the one moving the call, and know that Vin Jr is too good in goal scoring. Nevertheless, he will keep playing as a striker before the team have a reliable strker.
One of the advantage Barcelona have over Madrid is having a reliable striker that has started to score goals for them.
