Cristiano Ronaldo warned Real Madrid that Kylian Mbappe 'does not know' how to play as a no 9 and urged the club to help him improve there.
Mbappe has scored 22 goals in all competitions in his first season at the club, but confronted severe criticism for his disappointing performances at the beginning of the campaign.
The superstar followed in the footsteps of his idol Ronaldo after joining a free transfer of Paris Saint-Germain and has not hidden his desire to emulate him, coming to affirm that it was his 'destiny' to make the movement towards the Bernabeu.
Ronaldo, the top scorer of all time in Madrid with 451 goals, was the Mbappe childhood hero and infamously posed for a photo with him while he was young.
He is sure that there is more to come from the AS and, offering invaluable professional advice, urged him to avoid restricting himself to simply a striker.
Speaking in an interview with the Spanish television program El Chringuito, Ronaldo said: 'It is complicated, because he does not know how to play as a striker in my opinion, or rather, it is not that he does not know, but it is not' t his position .

'If I were in Madrid, I would show you how to play as a number nine.
'He was not a striker. I got used to it, but it was an extreme. People forget that. I was a striker, but not a typical striker.
“I think (MBAPPE) should not be a typical striker, he should do things in his own way.”
Initially, Mbappe took the time to find his feet as the focal point of the Madrid first line, since he was offered freedom during his brilliant six -year stay in the PSG.
But Carlo Ancelotti has sought to increase his trust and handed him his full support, even describing him as “the best front center in the world” this month.
“Take care of the boy,” Ronaldo added. 'Fans need to take care of it. It is very good.
'The club has to help protect it.
'I have no doubt that it will bring a lot of joy to Madrid fans. I love him, not only for his story as a child, how he loved Cristiano, I was his idol. I think he is a superior player.
Now in Al-Nassr's books in Saudi Arabia, Ronaldo admitted that he sees Mbappe 'from time to time' being his son Mateo 'he likes Mbappe' very much.
Mbappe has already won two trophies in Madrid, after having raised the UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Intercontinental Cup earlier this season. A third piece of cutlery was lost after the 5-2 defeat of the club by Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup.
