He Real Madrid plays tomorrow against Getafeon the team’s return to the Bernabéu after the match in Liverpool. Mbappé is one of the protagonists.
“Mbappé’s problem is the one we all have. The idea is to try to bring out our best version, of him, of myself, of other players,” said Carlo Ancelotti. “The problem is with a team that for the moment has been able to have continuity in the season and bring out its best. version. It is not a problem of one player, it is a problem of each of us. We do not consider an individual problem of a player who, among other things, is new here, is adapting, has eight goals, has participated in the attacking game with assists,” the coach defended him. “All of us can do better.”
The coach has asked for time: “Mbappé has not sunk, he is aware that he has to do better. Many of my players have missed penalties and we have to continue supporting and helping. You have to think that it is a collective problem and not an individual one. You can criticize me, but the team dynamic is good and we have to understand that we are missing many players, Rodrygo returns tomorrow. The idea of being patient is the right idea.” But it’s not going to change his situation: “I think Mbappé is more used to playing inside or on the left. Vinicius is less used to playing insideo, but he is realizing that playing inside is very dangerous. “It will depend on the parties.”
But he knows that you have to work to get ahead: “I’m like Mbappé. I’m trying everything to get the best version of myself. The results say that I haven’t been able to get the best version of myself. I’m not happy, but I’m just worried“He said about himself. I am convinced that we are going to fix it. For the rest, on a personal level, I am very happy.” He does not evade his responsibility: “The mirror of a coach is the team. When a team lacks continuity, is not always with a good attitude and focused, it is the coach’s fault in this sense.”
Ancelotti is optimistic: “In many years of my career, only one year has been quite easy, last year. All the other years I have had to solve problems, sooner or later the problems arrive. It is impossible to think of a season like last year’s in which everything went perfectly,” the coach continued. “It is better to find the problem in November or December than in April or May, when you are dead. Now the problem can be solved and, as I said, we are going to solve it. We are fighting for the League against a rival that is doing very well. The World Cup and the Super Cup are coming and, above all, the injured players are returning. Alaba, Camavinga will soon return. “You have to endure the moment with a good attitude and commitment, because good things are yet to come.”
Ancelotti calls for defense: “When there is a moment of difficulty you tend to complicate things, on the other hand when a team is missing something you have to simplify things and start from the base, which is to defend. It gives me confidence that the team begins to defend well, because it is the basic thing in football.
