by On the fourth day of La Liga play, Kylian Mbappe addressed the media following Real Madrid’s victory over Real Betis. After going three games without scoring, the Frenchman scored twice in a row. He acknowledged that it was a lot for him to go three games without scoring and that he knew what it meant to play for a great club.
Since Real Madrid’s UEFA Super Cup loss to Atalanta, Mbappe has not scored, which has caused the press to criticize the former Paris Saint-Germain striker. He dismissed the criticism after going two games in La Liga without scoring by launching his La Liga career with a brace against Real Betis at the Santiago Bernabeu last matchday.
Mbappe remarked on Spanish television following the match, “It’s a great moment.” “I yearned to score in the world’s best stadium, the storied Bernabeu. But the most important thing was to win. Three games without a goal may not seem like much to some, but to me, it is a lot.After the encounter against Las Palmas, we knew we had to win. We were successful in doing just that today in a difficult competition. Nevertheless, we are genuine, and we ultimately succeed while looking good.”
The worry that Mbappe had been displaying since August 14, when he scored his first goal and won his first trophy in Warsaw, was in stark contrast to his smile. After the game, coach Carlo Ancelotti reaffirmed his earlier assertion that “we never put Mbappe under pressure to score goals” in response to the criticism. He responded to the criticism on Saturday by claiming that his top recruit was settling in nicely.
“He was quite prolific in the box and got several opportunities. Ancelotti went on, “I think it’s vital for him to score, but we value the work he does for the team more. Vinicius allowed the French striker to take the spot.
The team as a whole, which has taken some time to click this season, received praise from Ancelotti as well. “We don’t have frustration or anxiety,” Ancelotti remarked.
