Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has acknowledged that his team is still adjusting to integrating Kylian Mbappé into the squad. Despite the forward not scoring in his first two LaLiga games, Ancelotti remains optimistic about the team's progress.
Mbappé found the net in the UEFA Super Cup victory over Atalanta but has yet to score in LaLiga matches against Mallorca and Real Valladolid. Ancelotti emphasized the need for time to adapt to changes within the team structure, highlighting the evolution process that occurs each season.
Ancelotti praised the team's depth and variety of attacking options, with goals coming from players like Rodrygo Goes, Federico Valverde, and Brahim Díaz in recent matches. Despite some criticism from fans regarding the forwards' defensive contributions, Ancelotti stressed the importance of a cohesive team effort both offensively and defensively.
Regarding Mbappé's goal drought, Ancelotti remained unfazed, pointing out that it is still early in the season and not a cause for concern. He highlighted the team's overall performance and expressed confidence in the players' abilities to deliver results.
As Real Madrid prepares for their upcoming LaLiga fixture against Las Palmas, their rivals Barcelona currently lead the table with a perfect record from their first three matches.
