Carlo Ancelotti Defends Kylian Mbappe, Says He’s Not the Only One to Blame
Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has come to the defense of Kylian Mbappe, saying that the French forward’s struggles are not solely his responsibility. According to Ancelotti, Mbappe’s problems are a collective issue that the entire team needs to address ¹.
Mbappe has faced criticism for his recent performances, particularly after missing a penalty in Real Madrid’s 2-0 Champions League defeat to Liverpool. However, Ancelotti believes that the 25-year-old is being unfairly singled out.
“Mbappe’s problem is the same as for all of us,” Ancelotti said in a press conference. “The idea is to try to find the best version of ourselves: from him, from myself, from the other players.” ¹
Ancelotti also pointed out that Mbappe has already scored eight goals in La Liga and the Champions League this season, and has provided assists in Real Madrid’s attacking game. The Italian manager believes that the team’s recent struggles are not solely down to Mbappe, but rather a collective problem that requires a collective solution.
“We don’t consider it an individual problem for a player who, among other things, is new here, is adapting, has scored eight goals and has participated in our attacking game with assists,” Ancelotti said. “We can all do better.” ¹
With Real Madrid facing Getafe in their next La Liga match, Ancelotti will be hoping that his team can bounce back from their recent setbacks and find their best form. As for Mbappe, the French forward will be looking to rediscover his scoring touch and prove his critics wrong.
