This summer, Mbappe joined Real Madrid. So far, he has made 8 appearances for the team, scoring 6 goals and providing 1 assist. However, Spanish Channel Six points out that Mbappe’s running is not very active, and there is room for improvement in this aspect.
The El Chiringuito program on Spanish Channel Six pointed out last night that Mbappe (KM9) is the player with the least running distance among the “Dream Quartet” of Real Madrid’s forward line.
Mbappe averages only 8,700 meters in running distance per game, which is far less than his teammates. The running distances of other main forwards per 90 minutes are: Rodrygo 9,900 meters, Vinicius 9,400 meters, and Bellingham 9,300 meters. Moreover, among Real Madrid’s forwards, Vazquez runs the most distance, reaching 11,400 meters every 90 minutes.
Of course, the El Chiringuito program also pointed out that this is not surprising because Mbappe plays as the number 9, and his running distance naturally differs from that of attacking midfielders and wingers. Additionally, the French star is not known for making many defensive runs or investing too much energy in duels and pressing. Furthermore, Mbappe is the fastest player in Real Madrid, and on the pitch, high-speed running, acceleration, and sprinting consume physical energy differently compared to steady running.
