The French striker faces many difficulties in presenting his football in both La Liga and the Champions League; Italian coach also spoke about the situation of Endrick, little used in the merengue team
The coach of , , was blunt in stating that the French striker’s poor form is not an individual problem, but a collective one. He added that, like the player, he is not happy. “The problem that Mbappé has is the problem that we all have. We try to find our best version. He can play better, but we can all do that,” he said. “The problem is with the team, which was unable to continue. I’m not happy, I’m just worried. I am convinced that we will resolve it”, added the coach about Real Madrid’s main signing for the season. Mbappé’s performance is far from good.
The French striker faces many difficulties in presenting his football both in Spain and in Spain. Mbappé has played 18 games for the Spanish team, with nine goals and two assists. On Wednesday (27), in the Champions League, he wasted a penalty and was heavily criticized by the Spanish media. He is aware that he must do better, but not just him. All of us. It’s a collective problem, not an individual one. The dynamics of the team in Espanyol have improved a lot in the last two games, we must bear in mind that we are missing a lot of players”, added Ancelotti.
The Italian coach also analyzed the Frenchman’s tactical positioning and his interaction with his attacking teammates. “I think Mbappé is more used to playing on the left and Vini is realizing that he is very dangerous inside. I don’t know what I’m going to do, but they know they can change.” The coach shows confidence in the team’s improvement with the return of injured players, such as Brazilian Rodrygo, who faces Getafe this Sunday after recovering from a muscle injury.
“Tomorrow Rodrygo returns, the next game will be Tchouaméni and Camavinga will do it soon. Getafe is a team that defends very well, the idea is to attack well and have control of the match to win it.” Ancelotti was also asked about the situation of Brazilian striker Endrick, who is little used at Real, and was succinct. “If I think Endrick is the ideal player for us to win, he will play.”
