Carlo Ancelotti will no longer know where to turn. Already very well equipped offensively with Vinicius Jr, Rodrygo and Jude Bellingham, the Real Madrid coach has been discovering the Brazilian phenomenon Endrick for a few days and will soon welcome Kylian Mbappé, whose vacation is coming to an end. So many options that will have to be used wisely, to avoid all these talents stepping on each other’s toes.
The Merengue staff has therefore taken the lead by assigning certain tasks to the players right now. According to Brandthe set-piece takers would thus already be defined. In charge of penalties last season, “Vini” will retain the confidence of the Italian technician in this exercise, despite the arrival of the captain of the Blues, who hits them in the French team and also had this responsibility at PSG.
Mbappé, Ancelotti’s surprising choice
For free kicks, however, it was the Frenchman who was preferred to his teammates. A surprising choice given that, at 25, Kylian Mbappé has still not scored a single direct free kick in his career. Did Carlo Ancelotti detect untapped potential in him, without even having seen him at work in training? In any case, this decision is a great mark of confidence and will put the former Parisian at ease.
