“No, but it’s every day! ‘Mbappe! Mbappe! Mbappe!’ All day ! » This sentence by Sergio Agüero (spoken during a stream in 2021) may be running through Carlo Ancelotti’s head. Indeed, not a press conference passes without the Real Madrid coach being asked about the arrival or not of the crack of PSG in Real Madrid. And so far the Italian has been clear.
“We already have him (Benzema’s replacement, editor’s note). It can be Joselu or we can play with another system.. This Thursday, he also recalled that he did not expect any reinforcements by September 1. “I 100% exclude the signing of any other player”. However, Carletto had added, during the tour of Real Madrid in the United States, that he forbade himself nothing new. “It’s true that we’ve always had Karim, even if he wasn’t a pure newcomer, but the system can adapt to the characteristics of the players. A player who has arrived can bring a lot offensively, like Bellingham.
Bellingham impresses
A trend that is confirmed. According to brand, Ancelotti thinks more of an unprecedented trident than of an arrival from Mbappé. The Madrid newspaper claims that Casa Blanca’s good start to the La Liga season (two wins against Athletic and Almeria) convinced the Italian to give it a shot with the Rodrygo-Belligham-Vinicius Jr triplet. Arrived in Madrid this summer , Jude Bellingham (20) never ceases to impress. Author of 3 goals and 1 assist in La Liga, the Englishman proved his coach’s words regarding his attacking contribution.
Yesterday, the former coach of Everton also confirmed his game plan. “We believe that the arrival of Bellingham covers the absence of Karim. He is a serious, mature boy with many qualities. What he does is not surprising to those who know him, what is surprising is that he is only 20 years old. It is not Borussia Dortmund who will say the opposite.
