Vini’s ego is 90% the reason we have gone two seasons without a Major Trophy. Everything we have experienced from Vini since Mbappé arrived is tied to that ill advised “i’ll do it 10x” tweet. Everything he did since he lost that Ballon D’or was to prove he was indeed the best player in the world and to do that, he had to first prove he is better than his teammate Mbappé. He did all of these without considering how it affected the team, but the only problem is he was “competing” against someone that even the legendary Messi couldn’t outshine. Alonso came in and Mbappé was quickly established as the main man, and we know what Vini did to destroy that. As long as everything wasn’t going through him, he wasn’t going to allow it. Mbappé is not perfect, but he’ll happily serve you and play with you if you are willing. He did it with Messi, Neymar, Icardi, Cavani, Giroud, Griezmann, and Benzema. As long as you don’t hold any animosity towards him, he’ll coexist with you beautifully. Mbappé has no reason to be selifish since he can serve you, create for you, play with you and still outscore you. 😂 In the 2022 WC he served Giroud and still outscored him. In the 2026 World Cup, he led and he served, and he still outscored everyone. I remember when Benzema was reinstated into the National team and Mbappé despite already being the main man, actually played for him, combined with him, even served him ( for lack of a better word). It was already clear that Mbappé was Deschamps leader, but Kylian happily played a supporting role for the good of the team. They ended up winning the Nations League together in 2021, and Mbappé still outscored Karim, winning the Golden Boot. My point is, there is more than enough to suggest Mbappé is a team player and can do whatever is needed for his team to win, as long as Hierarchy and roles are established. Mourinho on the other hand has learned from Xabi Alonso’s “mistakes” and he seems to have established what we need to win immediately. it’s obvious his plan is to to build the team around players with a point to prove, players who haven’t “won us 2 UCLs”, players who want to play for each other and players who want each other to succeed. Interesting times ahead. Hope this helps 😘.
