In recent games, Kylian Mbappé seems to increasingly play in the number 9 position, even though PSG has Randal Kolo Muani or Gonçalo Ramos. Luis Enrique explains this decision.

The shift in buzz has borne fruit. PSG recruited heavily in the center, but since the beginning of the season, PSG has been struggling in this area. Luis Enrique has therefore attempted in recent games, especially against Le Havre, to reposition Mbappé as a number 9…

However, the Spanish coach assures that the PSG forward is not confined to this role. “Kylian has total freedom in attack. He has defensive duties, like all players, but he has the freedom to go on the wing, in the center, or as a false nine. He played the last match (against Le Havre) like the others,” he stated.


This is expected to be the case again this Saturday during PSG-Nantes at Parc des Princes.
