Kylian Mbappé’s timid debut in La Liga has provoked initial criticism from the press against him. The Real Madrid striker was able to count on the support of Carlo Ancelotti this Wednesday.
Presented with great fanfare on July 16, Kylian Mbappé came to strengthen Real Madrid’s attacking ranks after seven years at Paris Saint-Germain. Expected by the supporters despite his two refusals to come to Madrid in 2017 and 2022, the French striker did not wait long to score his first goal since he scored in his first match in the Merengue colors. But since then, he has been silent and this has triggered initial criticism. Carlo Ancelotti came to his rescue.
Scorers in the UEFA Super Cup won against Atalanta Bergamo (2-0), Kylian Mbappé has still not found the back of the net in two La Liga matches. His debut in the Spanish championship was an opportunity for the Iberian press to express their first reservations about the twenty-five-year-old player. While Real travel to Las Palmas on Thursday for the third day of La Liga, Carlo Ancelotti appeared before the press on Wednesday. The opportunity for him to answer questions about his player.
Confident for the future
And for the Italian coach, things are very clear: there is no danger in the future and the criticisms heard have no place at this stage of the season. Mbappé’s last goal was on August 14. Today is the 28th. Only two weeks have passed without him scoring. It seems to me that it is too short a time to be a cause for concern. We are not concerned and neither is he. »
A clarification made very calmly by Carlo Ancelotti, who continued his speech in front of the Spanish journalists. He is happy and of course he wants to score in the next match. “And the Italian slipped in a little word about another Madrid attacker: ” Vinicius hasn’t scored in the last three games either and I don’t see him being concerned. “As for Kylian Mbappé, the tactician did not seem worried about the future: ” He is progressing and I see him getting better every day. He is confident, motivated and he trains well. He is very humble and adapts perfectly. »
