Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti expressed confidence in Kylian Mbappé's goal-scoring abilities despite the forward failing to find the net in his last two LaLiga games. Mbappé, who recently joined Madrid on a five-year contract, scored in the UEFA Super Cup but has since gone two league games without a goal.
In their recent 3-0 victory against Real Valladolid, Mbappé was substituted after 86 minutes. However, Ancelotti dismissed concerns about Mbappé's central forward position affecting his performance, emphasizing the player's speed and movement off the ball.
Ancelotti highlighted Mbappé's three chances in the game and expressed confidence in his goal-scoring abilities regardless of his position on the field. The coach also praised young talent Endrick, who scored his first goal for Madrid in the match.
Endrick, who recently turned 18, was commended by Ancelotti for his potential, control, and goal-scoring prowess in tight spaces. Madrid's recent victory over Valladolid followed a draw in their opening LaLiga game and marked a positive step in their title defense campaign.
Madrid is currently dealing with injuries to midfielders Jude Bellingham and Eduardo Camavinga, as well as the suspension of defender Ferland Mendy. The team is gearing up for upcoming matches against Las Palmas and Real Betis as they aim to maintain their position at the top of the LaLiga table.
