Things have loosened up a bit for Mbappé in the Real shirt, but when you get around 150 million euros just for signing, then expectations are well above normal. Last week, former PSG “teammate” Neymar gave an interview in which he described the Frenchman as anything but a team player (read: “spoiled asshole”). Carlo Ancelotti comes out to back the 26-year-old against all the criticism that has hailed, both in France and Spain.
In the last 10 games, the Frenchman has scored 7 goals, the last two coming against Las Palmas.
“Mbappé is the best striker in the world. We can use him on the left, but he is very comfortable in a central role. He has a unique ability to let go of his marking and get into areas of the pitch where he gets the most out of it,” Carlo Ancelotti said in an interview on the club’s website.
Good to hear the coach is behind the player, but it says a lot when Carlo Ancelotti has to defend the club’s biggest investment, the performances on the pitch should keep the critics and doubters among Real supporters away.
