A debacle by Barcelona, then a defeat by Milan - the situation in Real Madrid is alarming, so even Carlo Ancelotti does not hide that the current champion of Spain and Europe is in trouble.
Real concedes a lot of goals, in the last four matches the net shook as many as 10 times, but the public is particularly interested in Kylian Mbappe's form.
The Frenchman has not yet found his way in Madrid, but Ancelotti is ready to defend one of the best strikers in the world from all "hits".
"Mbape is training well, but he is going through a difficult period. Like all of us, after all. If we are smart, we can turn the situation around, but we have to be focused and have the right attitude. That Kilian is struggling is a problem for all of us. He is not able to offer us the best version of himself, but I am convinced that he will turn the situation around," Ancelotti said.
They asked the Italian why Vinicius Junior doesn't play closer to the goal, when Mbappe is not in the right shape.
“Because I don't want to take away from him what he does best. And Mbape can be a striker", answered Ancelotti.
And Real's problem is...
"In defense, not in attack," Carletto added.
Real welcomes Osasuna on Saturday at 14 p.m.
