I remember Anceloti been Interviewed on Obi Michael, ex Chelsea midfielder podcast and when he asked Anceloti where he will be playing Mbape and he responded forward but didn't indicate which particular position in the forward and he made examples of how Vinicious, Rodrigo, and Bellingham are Versatile players which he used on any place that he want and they perform excellently. I think that's what he is going to be doing with Mbape coming matches.
I too believe on Anceloti and he is not the kind of person that do too much, if it's not going to favour him, he will know from onset, Mbape is a big project for Real Madrid and he is going to deliver until 2026 which I think he might want to retire possibly. I'm not sure if he is ever going to work elsewhere after Real Madrid.
I think Ancelotti made us curious about the answers he gave in the podcast. But if my assumption is that Mbappe will play as a center forward or flanked by Vini and Rodrygo then we will see a new trio in Real Madrid's front line. I think the players must be ready for a new position if that is what Ancelotti does this season. Indeed, Ancelotti is very clever in formulating strategies by placing players who have no difficulty carrying out their duties.
There is nothing that can be said other than Ancelotti's great success in assembling a team for the long term because for now almost all the players are young and the transitions they have made have shown quite satisfactory results. We will see Mbappe, Vini, Rodrygo and Bellingham bring many trophies for Real Madrid this season or in the next season.
