After a well-deserved vacation, Carlo Ancelotti will have to rack his brain to find the ideal formula with Mbappé and the departure of Toni Kroos.
It’s generally said that you don’t change a winning team, but Carlo Ancelotti will be forced to do so. The Italian will have to compose without the soon-to-be-retired Toni Kroos and with the newcomer, Kylian Mbappé.
Carletto has already pointed out that replacing Toni Kroos won’t be “possible”, so he’ll have to adapt differently. What is being said in the offices of Valdebebas is that who better than him is able to do it with such a talented squad… He’ll also have to incorporate Kylian Mbappé, who is unlikely to start matches on the bench.
Moreover, although the arrival of the Frenchman has only been official since Monday, it’s easy to imagine that the Italian has been aware for several weeks or even months of what awaits him, and that he has already considered the future.
This week, several meetings have indeed taken place in Madrid between Ancelotti and his management, until Thursday, the departure date for the Madrid coach’s vacation. The newspaper Marca echoes these meetings, and the Italian has sent a very clear message regarding Mbappé’s arrival. “How can a player who scores a goal per game be a problem?” reiterated the Italian, who seems far from the opinion of those who fear that the Frenchman’s ego or even his characteristics may not fit in with the current Real Madrid squad.
As Marca explains, this sentiment from Carlo Ancelotti is fully shared by the rest of his technical staff as well as his executives. They are completely immune to external “noise” and are simply happy and satisfied to know that Kylian Mbappé will play in white from next season.
