Bellingham and Mbappe form superb understanding

Spanish newspaper As pointed out after the game, against Stuttgart, Mbappe ushered in his debut in the Champions League in Real Madrid, deeply appreciate the team's enthusiasm for this tournament. Although Real Madrid experienced many ups and downs in the course of the game, but finally beat Stuttgart with efficient offense. This ability to capitalize on opportunities has always been a tradition for Real Madrid.

However, “As” also pointed out that although Ancelotti emphasized the team's defense before the game, but in the actual game, Real Madrid's defensive performance is not as good as it should be, the cooperation between the players is not close enough, and the pressure of the defense is also insufficient, Chouményi's aggressiveness in the defensive end is also to be improved. Relying only on Valverde to withdraw the defense is obviously not enough to solve the problem, such a defense in the Bernabeu may lead to more goals conceded.

Nonetheless, Real Madrid won this game, which is a clear difference from last season's performance. According to As, it's usually easier to see a team's weaknesses than its strengths when it's not in good shape overall. Even so, Carlo Ancelotti remains confident about the future, mainly due to Mbappe's gradual integration into the team.

According to As, Mbappe kept running, which is exactly what Real Madrid needed. The French striker once again showed his excellent sense of running, whether it is from the side of the cut or from the middle of the breakthrough, he always appeared in the box at the critical moment, and Rodrigo and Bellingham with the team to help the team to tear apart the Stuttgart's defense, which happens to be the weakest link of the Stuttgart. The newly formed understanding between Bellingham and Mbappe was especially impressive. Bellingham has a strong positional sense in the midfield and is able to open up space for Real Madrid's attack and form effective partnerships with Mbappe.

An image from the match: when Bellingham received the ball in midfield, he observed that Mbappe was looking for space behind Stuttgart defender Wagnermann. With Stuttgart's defense pressing up, Bellingham's pass was made relatively easy, but that doesn't hide the England player's excellent judgment and passing skills. At the moment, Bellingham seems to be the player in the team who best understands the intentions of Mbappe's runs.
