Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti remains unfazed by Kylian Mbappé’s recent goal scoring drought in LaLiga. Despite failing to find the net for the second consecutive game, Ancelotti expressed his satisfaction with the team’s performance and the victory over Real Valladolid.
Mbappé himself shared his excitement about the win, stating, “It makes me very happy. I’ve started off at the Bernabéu winning the game and we got the three points.” He also highlighted the support of the fans and expressed his eagerness for the upcoming matches.
Positional Debate
Ancelotti addressed the speculation about Mbappé’s positioning on the field, emphasizing that the forward’s role as a centre-forward does not hinder his goal-scoring ability. The coach praised Mbappé’s skills, speed, and movement without the ball, expressing confidence in his goal-scoring potential.
In addition to Mbappé, Ancelotti commended young talent Endrick, who scored his first goal for the club during the match. The coach acknowledged Endrick’s potential, technical abilities, and effectiveness in the penalty box, highlighting his promising future with Real Madrid.
Team Challenges
Real Madrid’s victory over Valladolid followed a draw in their opening LaLiga match, as the team aims to defend their title. The absence of key players like Jude Bellingham, Eduardo Camavinga, and Ferland Mendy due to injury and suspension presented challenges for the team, but Ancelotti remains focused on the upcoming matches.
Looking ahead, Real Madrid will face Las Palmas in their next match before hosting Real Betis in the weekend. With a mix of experienced players and emerging talents, the team is determined to maintain their competitive edge and continue their pursuit of success in the LaLiga season.
