Real Madrid’s Kylian Mbappé Still Finding His Stride
Carlo Ancelotti has acknowledged that his Real Madrid team is still adjusting to life with Kylian Mbappé, but he’s not worried about the French forward’s slow start to the season. Mbappé has failed to score in his first two LaLiga games, but Ancelotti believes it’s just a matter of time before he finds his rhythm.
A New Era for Real Madrid
Ancelotti highlighted that every season brings changes to the team, and it’s normal to need time to adjust. He pointed out that last season, Real Madrid won many games in the final minutes, and this year, they’re still finding their best version. The Italian coach is confident that the team will come together and start scoring goals.
Mbappé’s Missing Magic
Mbappé opened his account for Real Madrid in the UEFA Super Cup win over Atalanta, but has since failed to find the net in LaLiga. However, Ancelotti is not concerned, citing that Mbappé hasn’t scored in two weeks, which is not a cause for alarm. The coach also drew parallels with Vinícius Junior, who hasn’t scored in three games, but doesn’t seem worried.
Work Rate the Key
Some Real Madrid fans have criticized the team’s work rate off the ball, but Ancelotti believes that the key to success lies in being a compact team. He emphasized that both forwards and defenders need to work together to create a cohesive unit. If the forwards press and the defense doesn’t step up, or vice versa, the team won’t be effective.
Barcelona’s Early Lead
As Real Madrid prepares to face Las Palmas, their rivals Barcelona are sitting pretty at the top of the LaLiga table, having won all three of their matches. Ancelotti will be looking to get his team back on track and close the gap.
