On the eve of his side’s clash with FC Sevilla, Carlo Ancelotti made a totally unexpected comment about Kylian Mbappé. The Real Madrid coach is finally launching the hostilities for his No9.
Carlo Ancelotti made no secret of his satisfaction at the pre-match press conference against Sevilla. The Real Madrid coach confirmed that Kylian Mbappé had completely adapted to the Madrid club, just a few months after his free transfer from Paris Saint-Germain.
Having arrived last summer, Kylian Mbappé has undergone a period of adjustment to adapt to the demands of Real Madrid. The French international has recently put in a string of convincing performances, scoring three goals in as many games. And for Carlo Ancelotti, the time has come for the Bondynois to show everyone the footballer he has always been.
‘His adaptation period is over,’ said Ancelotti, quoted by Marca. ‘He’s already showing a good version, but he can still improve’. According to the Italian coach, Mbappé is fully integrated, both in sporting and personal terms. ‘He is motivated, satisfied and happy to be here. He needed a period of adjustment, like any player, but that’s behind him now,’ added the Italian coach.
Carlo Ancelotti reaffirms his confidence in Mbappé
Since his arrival, Kylian Mbappé has already scored 13 goals and provided 3 assists. His ability to fit into Real Madrid’s attacking system alongside stars such as Vinícius Júnior, Rodrygo and Jude Bellingham is a major asset for the Merengue side. However, Ancelotti warns that the former Parisian can still improve. ‘He can do more damage,’ he said.
The Italian coach also spoke about the management of the minor injury that slowed Mbappé down at the start of the season. Now fully recovered, the striker looks set to shine even more brightly, especially in the key competitions coming up. With La Liga, the Champions League and other titles in his sights, Mbappé has the opportunity to establish himself as one of the cornerstones of this Real Madrid team.
As Real Madrid enter a crucial phase of the season, the expectations surrounding Mbappé continue to grow. His current form and ability to perform under pressure will be crucial to the club’s ambitions. Mbappé’s rapid integration into the Madrid set-up is further proof of Real Madrid’s ability to welcome and nurture the world’s greatest footballing talents.
