Vinicius Jr shares what Real Madrid must do ahead of imminent Kylian Mbappe debut

Real Madrid forward Vinicius Jr has stated what he thinks the team must do to accommodate Kylian Mbappe ahead of his debut. The Frenchman joined the storied Spanish club from French giants Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer.

The 24-year-old Brazilian is one of the best players on the planet and a front-runner for this year's Ballin d'Or award after his exploits with the Madrid-based giants. He helped Los Blancos to La Liga and UEFA Champions League glory last season, bagging 24 goals and 11 assists in 39 games in the 2023-24 campaign.

Speaking via El Chiringuito TV, Vini Jr insisted that the team had a duty to take care of the incoming French star ahead of his debut, saying:

“We have to take care of him and do everything possible so that he can adapt as quickly as possible.”

Kylian Mbappe joins the star-studded Real Madrid team as a legend in his native France following his exploits with Paris Saint-Germain. The 25-year-old forward is the all-time highest goal scorer for the Paris-based club with 256 goals and also has 108 assists from 308 games.

The fans at the Santiago Bernabeu will be keen to see how the team accommodates both Vinicius Jr and their new superstar forward in the upcoming season.

Real Madrid boss is not worried about how he would fit Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Jr into the team

Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti is not worried about fitting Kylian Mbappe into the team alongside Vinicius Jr. Both players are considered two of the best in the world at the moment and often feature in similar positions on the pitch.

However, the legendary manager is not worried about how he will fit the two left-sided forwards into the team. Speaking with his former player at Chelsea, John Obi Mikel, on the Obi One Podcast, the Los Blancos boss said:

"Honestly, I haven't thought about it, Fitting Mbappé in the team won't be a problem. It's important to remember what he said: He'll adapt to the team. The key is that each player has to contribute talent and quality in service to the team. Sometimes you can play on the left, sometimes you can play in the middle."

Real Madrid will be keen to get the best out of both Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Jr in the upcoming campaign. Los Blancos will be keen to retain their UEFA Champions League and La Liga crowns and add more silverware to their impressive haul.
