Carlo Ancelotti and Kylian Mbappé, it only lasted a season. The last of the Italian technician on the Real Madrid bench. And the Mister, now coach of Brazil, obviously has an excellent memory of his collaboration with the French striker, whom he describes as “very easy” to coach. This is what he entrusted to the detour of an interview with The team.
“In a year, Mbappé never asked me, nor to draw the penalties, to play, to not play, to hit the free kicks … nothing. He always behaved well, with a lot of humility. And he signed a very high level season from a personal point of view, with 44 goals. I believe that its second season will be better because it is suitable and its partners know it well ”man told the seven champions leagues.
The repositioning of Mbappé explained
Ancelotti also gave his opinion on the repositioning of Mbappé, which passed over the seasons of nine number. A role that he continues to take on since his arrival at Casa Blanca in the summer of 2024.
“In my eyes, Mbappé is a center-forward. This is where he best expresses his qualities. It is fast, technical, skillful, capable of dazzling sequences in small spaces. It must therefore be close to the goal. On one side, it will have the same qualities, of course, but it will mark less I think. The intensity in football has further increased in recent seasons and the physical requirement of those who play on one side is much higher than a few years ago. We always ask for more efforts from those who evolve on the side. For Mbappé, it is therefore preferable to be at the point »he analyzed.
