Marca claims that president Florentino Perez spoke to him after his penalty misses against Liverpool and Athletic Club to convey his confidence, while Ancelotti also spoke individually with him after Anfield. It has been highlighted that Ancelotti helped revive players like Hernan Crespo, Andriy Shevchenko and Alessandro del Piero.
The Merengues consider him the current and future star of their project, so regaining his confidence is a very important issue for the club, which is without doubt. However, so far his teammates have not seen much that gives them the optimism that Ancelotti has shown.
Not the same since Stockholm
The same media specifies that his confidence continues to fall and that since his return from a trip to Sweden, he has become another Kylian Mbappé. Even his goal against Getafe didn’t bring him back up. During his break after missing a cap with France in October, Mbappé’s vacation to Stockholm made headlines in France and Spain.
This report was contradicted by another, which claimed that Mbappé spoke with some of the heavyweights in the dressing room after the setback in Bilbao, assuring them that he would be the leader that Real Madrid needed. Meanwhile, Ancelotti highlighted an increase in his physical output as the first step in getting back to his best during his press conference on Friday
