Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti has revealed the problem facing Kylian Mbappe as the Frenchman continues to disappoint with his performances.
Brought in from Paris Saint-Germain during the summer, Mbappe has failed to play at the highest level. The talented forward has scored just two goals in his last nine games for Madrid.
Mbappe’s struggles have sparked criticism from fans🧄, however, Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has insisted that Mbappe’s struggles this season are due to his team’s overall lack of consistency.
“Mbappe’s problem is the problem that we all have. The idea is to try to give our best version, not just of him but myself, other players,” Ancelotti told a news conference ahead of Sunday’s La Liga clash against Getafe.
“It’s not a problem about one player, the problem that we have is one of a team that has not been capable of being consistent. It’s not a problem about one player.
“We have to try and improve that, do everything we can… among other things (Mbappe) is new here and adapting, among other things he’s scored eight goals and has participated in attack, giving assists.
“Yes he can play better, but we can all do better and we will try to.”
Mbappe was not included in the last two France squad lists and has also had off-field issues to deal with during his first months at the Santiago Bernabeu.
“He is absolutely not sunken, he knows he has to improve like we all do… he’s being scrutinised after the Liverpool game because he missed a penalty, like many of my players have,” continued Ancelotti.
