Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti insists the only thing he asks of Kylian Mbappe is to score goals. Los Blancos are set to host Borussia Dortmund in the third round of the Champions League on Tuesday night. With Los Blancos winning 1 and drawing 1.
One of the questions that the media didn’t miss during Monday’s press conference was Kylian Mbappe’s overall performance. UFABET Which has now scored eight goals and provided one assist in 12 appearances.
“The only thing I ask from Mbappe is to score goals. I want him to score more goals than to help with pressing,” Ancelotti said.
“Our centre-forward position hasn’t changed. I’m asking him the same thing I asked Karim (Benzema). Which is to be in a good position and always be ready when we win the ball to counter-attack quickly.”
The 25-year-old forward has been criticised for his performances at the start of the season. Despite a steady run of goals. But has been embroiled in a sexual harassment scandal in Swedish media during the international break.
Since the start of last season, Bellingham has delivered the joint-most assists in the Champions League (five – level with Marcel Sabitzer). And Ancelotti is not concerned by the 21-year-old’s lack of goals this term.
“We are satisfied with Bellingham’s work. He works hard on the field, competes, fights and makes sacrifices.” Ancelotti said.
“He hasn’t scored like last year, but that was unexpected.
