WWhen you sign what is considered the best player in the world, you expect a lot of privileges and the spotlight is pointed in that direction. Kylian Mbappé arrived at Real Madrid after seven years of waiting and landing at a club that had just won everything. His presentation was remarkable, with the new Bernabéu packed, and with the feeling that the Frenchman was the galactic star who would put the icing on the cake of Real Madrid's dream.

He received neither the number 7, belonging to the star player Viniciusnor captain Modricit's 10, but the 9 released by his compatriot Benzema. He arrived quietly, chose to keep a low profile and fit in like he was a deserving player in the spot he was given.

Can you imagine Figo, Zidane, Ronaldo, Beckham Or Cristiano play out of his natural position? Can you imagine one of the Galacticos adapting to the others' way of playing? Well, with Mbappé, it happened. And even if things aren't going well for the Frenchman, there is currently no alternative plan to change the dynamic. With humility and far from the egos that usually accompany big stars, Mbappé bides his time.

Ancelotti made it clear

When in doubt, Ancelotti was clear: “I didn’t want to change the position of the player who makes the difference.” Vinicius in front of Mbappé, in a clear gesture that hierarchies still reign in a locker room where the last arrival must bide his time even if he is the signing expected for many years.

Mbappé is criticized for not defending when what made him the star of the market chosen by Real Madrid was his way of attacking, his ability to score goals. In the meantime, the Frenchman sniffs without apologizing, which would be the simplest thing to do. Humility, integration, team spirit, trying to defend better and refine your shot, such is the recipe for the least galactic of all the galacticos brought by Florentino Pérez.
