Real Madrid entered this season with an extremely strong squad. The proof is that they defeated Atalanta 2-0 to win the European Super Cup. However, Mbappe's presence also causes many changes to the Royal attack, because many stars will change positions.
Before the match in round 1 of La Liga between Real Madrid and Mallorca, coach Ancelotti had many revelations about how he arranged the attack. First, Rodrygo seems like he will have to play back and sacrifice more.
Ancelotti praised Rodrygo's ability to operate out wide, according to AS: "He brings a lot, in Warsaw when we play 4-4-2 he will mainly operate in midfield. He is doing well and needs to focus on that. The data shows that he contributes very well in defense and attack.”
Another star affected is Bellingham. From playing attacking midfielder and supporting the striker, the England star switched to playing central midfielder in the 4-3-3 formation, the position he held at Dortmund. Ancelotti said: “Bellingham's position will be left central midfielder. Sometimes he will step back a bit to defend. When attacking, he can also go high and enter the penalty area."
Finally, Ancelotti mentioned Mbappe and praised his quick integration with Real Madrid: “With all the new players, everyone in the club tries to make them feel comfortable. An extraordinary talent has arrived, we have to help him adapt. Mbappe appeared humble, he was very serious. It's a great start.”
