Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti has asked for more patience with Kylian Mbappé, who has yet to live up to expectations since arriving at the club.
His missed penalty against Liverpool only added to the pressure, but the Italian says it is a collective problem. The main topic of the press conference was the poor form of Kylian Mbappé, who has scored two goals in his last nine matches. Ancelotti was asked about his game.
“Mbappé’s problem is the problem we all have. We seek to find our best version. Me and my players. THE problem comes from the team and not from the individual players, who have failed to ensure continuity. We have to do everything we can to improve, it's not an individual problem. Mbappé scored 9 goals, he contributed to our game, made assists. He can play better, but we can all do it. »
Mbappé finally cleared
“Mbappé is more used to playing on the left, Vinicius too. Vini realizes that he is also very dangerous inside. I don’t know what I’m going to do, maybe it will depend on the match, but they can also change during the matches.” Ancelotti emphasized patience and the idea that the collective will correct individual problems.
“He is aware that he has to do better, but he and everyone else. We must continue to support him, be patient and think that this is a collective problem but not an individual one. The team's dynamic in La Liga has improved a lot in the last two games, it's true that we could have been better against Liverpool. We have to take into account that we are missing many players. Little by little, they recover. Rodrygo comes back tomorrow and we have to be patient.”
