Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has shown confidence that Kylian Mbappe will return to his best sooner rather than later, encouraging him to keep fighting despite his drop in form. However, there is concern at the club about his morale.
Mbappé has received the support of his teammates, the board, Ancelotti and the fans, but so far he still has to change things. Marca points out that president Florentino Pérez spoke with him after his missed penalty against Liverpool and Athletic Club to convey his confidence, while Ancelotti also spoke with him individually after Anfield. It is noted that Ancelotti has helped turn around players like Hernán Crespo, Andriy Shevchenko and Alessandro del Piero.
The whites consider him the present and future star of their project, so regaining his trust is a matter of status for the club, of which there is no doubt. However, so far his teammates have not seen much to give them the optimism that Ancelotti has shown.
The same medium details that his confidence continues to fall into the abyss, and since his return from an infamous trip to Sweden, he is a different Kylian Mbappé. Not even his goal against Getafe lifted him up. During his break from the team after missing international duty with France in October, Mbappé’s vacation in Stockholm became front-page news in France and Spain.
This information has been denied by another, which states that Mbappé spoke with some heavyweights in the locker room after their clash in Bilbao, assuring them that he would be the leader that Real Madrid needed. Meanwhile, Ancelotti pointed out during his press conference on Friday an increase in his physical performance as a first step towards returning to his best level.
