Mbappe’s Struggles: Real Madrid Boss Ancelotti Calls for Patience, Collective Improvement
Madrid, Spain – Kylian Mbappe’s performance for Real Madrid has come under scrutiny after a recent Champions League victory against Liverpool, despite the team’s success. Criticsジャ point to the French striker’s missed opportunities against Liverpool as a symptom of his underwhelming start since joining the Spanish giants in the summer of 2024.
Mbappe, who turned 25 this year, has yet to consistently make a significant impact for Real Madrid. While he has made regular appearances, his goal tally sits at a modest nine in eighteen games across all competitions.
However, Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has come out in strong defense of his star signing, choosing to emphasize a teamwide need for improvement rather than placing the blame solely on Mbappe.
"[Mbappe] has not given up.とした is aware that he has to do better, but he has not given up. What happened to us is a collective problem, not an individual problem," Ancelotti stated. "Of course the dynamics are good. You can criticize me later, but it is more appropriate to be patient," he added, deflecting immediate pressure on the forward.
Ancelotti acknowledged Mbappe’s struggles mirror the inconsistent form of the entire team, stressing that improvement is required from everyone.
"[Mbappe’s] problem is the same as the problem we all have. The idea is to get the best out of him, not just myself," he noted. “Our problem is not just one player, but the whole team that is not able to maintain continuity."
He concluded, "Our idea is to improve everything, the same goes for Mbappe. He is new, he is changing, and he has scored 8 goals. Can he play more better? Yes, but we all have to do it."
Despite these struggles, Ancelotti remains optimistic about Mbappe’s future, recognizing the striker’s talent and potential to contribute significantly to Real Madrid’s goals. The coach’s message clearly conveys a commitment to nurturing Mbappe’s development and helping him adapt to the demands of his new club.

## Ancelotti’s Patience: Is it Enough to Unlock Mbappe’s Real Madrid Potential?
**Madrid, Spain** – Kylian Mbappe’s arrival at Real Madrid in the summer of 2024 carried immense expectation.
