At first, i also thought that there would be competition between the two Real Madrid stars, Mbappe and Vinicius. However, it turned out to be beyond expectations that they were able to work well together as a team, and we will see something extraordinary like this. I believe they are still relatively young players, and their egos are still quite large, they each want to stand out more than the others, which is why fans feared that when they played as individuals rather than as a team, it would inevitably affect the team's playing style. However, if they continue to perform with solid teamwork, they will become the unstoppable spearhead of Real Madrid.

This is being overstated, as if Vinicius will feel threatened by Mbappé's arrival, which has led to much speculation from some observers. But actually that's normal as it's about the egos of each player. However, if the coach can manage them well, what will happen is that their strengths will only grow. Xabi Alonso has the ability to handle this problem, and I'm sure he understands what needs to be done so that each player can work well with each other. Real Madrid achieved a good result in their first match, and we hope this will be a turning point for the changes the coach can make to make the team stronger.

Since last season, this news has been constantly exaggerated, even though Vinicius and Mbappé are Real Madrid's two mainstays in attack. There's no competition between them, but rather, they work together to penetrate the opponent's defense.
Xabi Alonso knows what he has to do and shouldn't constantly blame these two players when Real Madrid's performance is poor.
