Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has revealed that Kylian Mbappe is aware he can perform at a higher level amid struggles at Santiago Bernabeu. He added the whole team needed to step up and perform better, which they were capable of.
During a recent press conference, Ancelotti said that Mbappe was still adapting and was on the same page as the rest of the team. He added that the problem was not individual but collective, saying (via TribalFootball):
“His problem is everyone’s problem. We must try to get the best out of ourselves: his, mine and that of other players. The problem is not with one player, but with a team that has not been able to have continuity or get the best out of itself. Our idea is to improve and do everything possible to achieve that. Mbappé’s idea is the same as everyone else’s.

“It’s not an individual problem for a player who is new, who is adapting, has scored goals and has participated in the attacking play with assists. He can do better, like all of us. He is aware that he has to do better and he will try, like everyone else. The Liverpool game is centred on him because he missed the penalty, but many have missed a penalty, and we have to try to continue supporting and think that it is a collective problem.”
Real Madrid can close the gap with Barcelona at the top of the LaLiga table down to one point and still have a game in hand with a win over Getafe on Sunday, December 1.
Carlo Ancelotti worried about Real Madrid’s form and Kylian Mbappe
Carlo Ancelotti admitted that he was worried about Real Madrid’s form and wanted to get the club back to their best. He said that like Mbappe, he was also trying his best to get the club back on track. He commented:
“I’m like Mbappé. I’m trying everything to get the best version of myself. The results say that I haven’t gotten the best version of myself. I’m not happy, but I’m worried enough. I’m convinced that we’re going to fix it, as always. On a personal level, I’m very happy. A coach’s mirror is the team. When he’s not focused or lacks attitude, it’s the coach’s responsibility.”
