Carlo Ancelotti Prioritizes Mbappé`s Goals Over Pressing


Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti has emphasized the importance of Kylian Mbappé focusing on scoring goals rather than pressing, as the team continues to integrate the star striker following his summer transfer from Paris Saint-Germain. In a recent news conference, Ancelotti stated, `I prefer that he scores goals rather than he presses,` highlighting the central striker's role in the team's attacking strategy, similar to what was expected from Karim Benzema before his departure in 2023.

Mbappé has already made a significant impact, scoring eight goals in 12 games across all competitions this season. However, his goal tally is overshadowed by Barcelona's Robert Lewandowski, who has scored 14 goals in the same number of appearances. Despite this, Ancelotti remains satisfied with Mbappé's performance and the overall attacking talent of the team, which includes Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo Goes.

The team's approach to the game has also been influenced by Mbappé's arrival, with Ancelotti preferring an open, end-to-end style of play rather than a possession-based game. This is due to the team's players being more suited to rapid transitions and counter-attacks.

In addition to his on-field performance, Mbappé has faced off-field challenges, including criticism for not participating in France's recent Nations League games due to his recovery from a thigh injury. He has also denied allegations of rape in Sweden, labeling the reports as `fake news`.

Standing:
- Real Madrid lost their last Champions League outing to Lille.
- They host Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday in a rematch of last season's Champions League final.

Top Scorers:
- Kylian Mbappé: 8 goals in 12 games
- Robert Lewandowski: 14 goals in 12 games
