Analyst Delivers Criticizing Rant Regarding Real Madrid Pair Vinicius Jr and Kylian Mbappe

Following Real Madrid's heavy 4-0 defeat to PSG in the Club World Cup, the media has directed significant criticism towards forwards Vinicius Jr. and Kylian Mbappé. Analyst Raúl Varela, speaking on Radio Marca, launched a strong critique of both players' performances in the PSG match and referenced past issues, particularly with Vinicius.

Varela specifically pointed out Vinicius Jr.'s perceived lack of defensive effort, quoting the player as having said, "I've gone five years at Madrid without running." The criticism stems from the contrast between the players' roles under previous manager Carlo Ancelotti, where they were reportedly not required to do much defensive work, and the demands of new manager Xabi Alonso's different system.

Although this loss occurred in Alonso's sixth game in charge (sparing him much media negativity), and it was Mbappé's first start after recovering from illness, Varela expressed dissatisfaction with both players. The article notes that both players have only had a short time (six games) under Alonso, suggesting there is still time for them to adapt if required by the new manager's tactics.
