Real Madrid is preparing to face Leganes in the Spanish league. One of the main topics at the pre-match press conference with Carlo Ancelotti was Kylian Mbappe and his form. The Spanish media wrote a lot about his form, mental health and the fact that he was not called up to the French national team.
Ancelotti was offended when asked about Mbappe
– He had a chance to train and worked well. He improved his condition. May he show all his skills tomorrow, which are great – said Ancelotti, quoted by the website realmadryt.pl.
A few days ago, the French media reported that Mbappe had mental problems. – Call it what you want, but Mbappe has been suffering from mental problems for months. This is not something you can handle straight away, it takes time and work with specialists – these are the words of one of the informants of “L'Equipe”.
– It is true that Kylian is currently in a complicated situation. I'm on his side. He is going through a period that is not the happiest in his career. It's about both the physical and mental aspects – these are the words of France coach Didier Deschamps.
Ancelotti, however, was a bit offended when asked whether Mbappe was really struggling with such a problem. – Wow, what a question. I don't think so, because I see joy and peace in him. I don't think he suffers from it. At least he doesn't show it. Speculation on this topic seems very ugly to me, he said.
– All great strikers have bad streaks. He is motivated and happy to train and be with his teammates. That's all I see. The series will end someday. I rate him well and I am convinced that he will play a good match tomorrow. It's only a matter of time. He has extraordinary quality and he will show it sooner or later, added the Real coach.
In 16 matches, Kylian Mbappe scored eight goals (including three from penalties), which is a decent result, although much more was expected from him. Real, on the other hand, is in second place in the Spanish league table. They are six points behind Barcelona, ​​but also have one game in hand. The away game against Leganes will start at 6:30 p.m. on Sunday.
