Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti expressed satisfaction with new signing Kylian Mbappé's adaptation to the club, despite the player's slow start in LaLiga. Mbappé, who transferred from Paris Saint-Germain in June, has yet to score in three league games but Ancelotti remains optimistic about his performance.
Ancelotti highlighted Mbappé's overall contribution to the team, emphasizing his ability to create danger on the field. The manager also praised the partnership between Mbappé and Vinícius Júnior, stating that their offensive collaboration has been effective despite the lack of goals from Mbappé.
Addressing criticism of Real Madrid's sluggish start to the season, Ancelotti acknowledged the high expectations placed on the team following their previous successes. He emphasized the need for improvement in team cohesion and performance, noting that the season is long and there is ample time to rectify any issues.
Real Madrid currently sits in fourth place in the LaLiga table, trailing league leaders Barcelona by four points. Ancelotti downplayed the significance of the points difference, focusing instead on the team's overall performance and the need to address existing challenges.
Looking ahead, Ancelotti expressed confidence in the team's ability to overcome obstacles and improve their gameplay. He emphasized the importance of identifying and rectifying issues promptly to ensure a successful season for Real Madrid.
