Mbappe officially joins Real Madrid to wait for first trophy

Mbappe has just joined Real Madrid along with striker Endrick, two new recruits of the Spanish Royal team. The 25-year-old French star was given a break by coach Ancelotti because he is playing for the team at EURO 2024. He is among the players including Jude Bellingham, Dani Carvajal, Fede Valverde, Aurelien Tchouameni, Ferland Mendy and Eduardo Camavinga who have had their vacations extended, not participating in the tour in the US and concentrating from August 8.

According to AS (Spain): "Mbappe had his first training session with the Real Madrid players. However, this phase only tested their fitness and physical condition after the rest period. From this weekend, the training sessions will be truly complete. Real Madrid will prepare for the first match of the season against Atalanta in Warsaw, Poland (at 2:00 a.m. on August 15) for the European Super Cup".

This is the opportunity to win the first of 7 championships that Real Madrid can win in the 2024 - 2025 season, along with 6 other opportunities including La Liga, Copa del Rey, Spanish Super Cup, Champions League, Intercontinental Cup and FIFA Club World Cup. If they successfully win all 7 championships, the Spanish Royal team will set an unprecedented record.

Real Madrid just had a warm-up period with a tour in the US, winning 2-1 against Chelsea, but losing 0-1 to AC Milan and 1-2 to rivals Barcelona. The loss to Barcelona made coach Ancelotti say: "Don't be too happy, this is just a pre-season training match."

During the absence of rookie Mbappe and pillars such as Jude Bellingham, Dani Carvajal, Fede Valverde, Real Madrid had the presence of Vinicius, Rodrygo and Endrick after ending their playing for the Brazilian team at the Copa America early (eliminated in the quarter-finals). But these stars have not yet found their form.

Real Madrid's force to conquer a record of 7 championships in the 2024 - 2025 season, besides 2 new players Mbappe and Endrick, famous player Modric continues to play for another season and is the new captain of the team. Together with defender Lucas Vazquez signed a contract extension. But they said goodbye to veteran midfielder Toni Kroos (retired), defender Nacho went to Al Qadsiah Club (Saudi Arabia) and striker Joselu went to Al Gharafa Club (Qatar).

In the near future, Real Madrid will likely only be able to add one more goalkeeper, Kepa Arrizabalaga, from Chelsea, along with Thibaut Courtois and Andriy Lunin to compete in cup competitions, with the goal of conquering the championships the team participates in.

In a recent podcast by former player John Obi Mikel, coach Ancelotti revealed how to use Mbappe in Real Madrid's upcoming lineup: "It won't be difficult for Mbappe to fit into our lineup. He can play as a center forward or on the wing. Mbappe's mobility is the factor that helps me have all the options. It absolutely does not affect the positions of Jude Bellingham, Vinicius or Rodrygo and everyone else. The second thing I want from Mbappe is that he should rest well. This is a very long season, I need Mbappe to be at his best when the season starts."
