Rhino: Agencies – Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti defended his team’s form, saying that like last season, it is “normal” that it takes time for the team to be at its best, and also defended Kylian Mbappe, noting that he is “not worried” that the French striker has not scored goals “in two weeks”.
In a press conference on the eve of facing Las Palmas in the third round of La Liga, Ancelotti said of Mbappe: “He is progressing very well. Every day he’s in better shape, he’s motivated, he’s keen to train well, he’s very humble and he’s adapting very well.”
“The last time Mbappe scored a goal was on August 14. He hasn’t scored in two weeks, that’s not a long time to be worried. Not us and not him. Of course he wants to score in the next game, as does Vinicius, but I don’t see him worrying.”
The Italian coach mentioned the presence of the three strikers: Mbappe, Vinicius and Rodrigo, highlighting: “We have a lot of resources up front. It’s only been three games and we’ve scored six goals without being at our best.”
