Carlo Ancelotti, in a way, whistled the end of recess. For the experienced Real Madrid coach, the time for criticism against Kylian Mbappé is over, or not far away. “ His adaptation period is over, he is at his best today but he can still improve“, declared the Italian technician, Saturday at a press conference on the eve of the reception of Sevilla FC (18th day of the Spanish Championship).
The recent performances of the captain of the France team, who arrived last summer from PSG, indeed suggest a promising trend for the man who celebrated his 26th birthday this Friday. We think of the goal scored two days earlier in Lusail (Qatar) in the final of the Intercontinental Cup against the Mexicans of Pachuca (3-0).
Three goals in three matches
Kylian Mbappé also shook the opposing nets on the field of Bergamo in the Champions League (2-3), on December 10, then in Girona (0-3), on December 7. “ He performed well in recent matches. He is happy to be here, more motivated and more enthusiastic,” judge Carlo Ancelotti.
If the Real Madrid coach is right, the 2018 world champion will be able to express his potential. And we know that he makes him one of the best strikers in the world. Freed from the bad rumor coming from a stay in Stockholm, Kylian Mbappé is now waiting for PSG to finally pay him 55 million euros, the equivalent of unpaid salaries and bonuses.
From there, no psychological grain will disturb the cogs of the Mbappé machine. His brain will then be able to concentrate exclusively on the field. For his greatest happiness, and that of his teams.
