The new Real Madrid coach, Xabi Alonso, has assigned French star Kylian Mbappe the task of taking penalties, starting from the match against Osasuna in the first round of La Liga on Tuesday, instead of Brazilian Vinicius Junior.
The Spanish website "Defensa Central," which focuses on Real Madrid news, reported that Alonso appointed Kylian Mbappe as the primary penalty taker for the team, despite him missing 3 penalties with Real Madrid last season, while scoring 7 in La Liga.
The Spanish site stated: "Vinicius Junior will be second in the order of penalty takers, as Xabi Alonso does not want the Brazilian player to repeat the noise he caused last season, which disturbed the locker room, in addition to wanting the utmost commitment and seriousness from his star."
It is worth mentioning that Vinicius Junior scored two penalties last season and missed two, one of which was against Valencia in the match that Real Madrid lost 2-1, which weakened the team's hopes of retaining the La Liga title before losing it to Barcelona.
