Real Madrid’s head coach, Carlo Ancelotti, isn’t holding back his concerns about new star signing Kylian Mbappé. Though Mbappé arrived on a high note with his dynamic offensive skills, Ancelotti claims his lack of defensive commitment has become a real issue for the team.
According to Relevo, Ancelotti has grown frustrated with Mbappé’s minimal defensive work, particularly after the recent 4-0 loss to Barcelona, where Mbappé covered only eight kilometers on the pitch. This has disrupted Real Madrid’s balance, affecting their pressing game and leaving them exposed to high-level opponents.
Madrid’s struggles have been evident in recent losses, including a shock defeat to Lille in the Champions League and the heavy El Clásico loss. As Real Madrid looks to recover, Ancelotti will likely press for more defensive contributions from his star forward to strengthen their squad’s resilience.
