Although he is known for his discretion, Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti let himself go during an interview and revealed the secret of Kylian Mbappé’s success.
For Carlo Ancelotti: “Mbappé did not reach this level by training from the first day of his life, but because Mother Nature gave him a special talent,” he said without hesitation before continuing:
“He knew how to manage it with commitment and sacrifice. Young people must use sport to learn, it is a school of life.” That said, Carlo Ancelotti is praising Kylian Mbappé’s innate talent while emphasizing the work that the Frenchman has done.
The Mister thus urges young people to show professionalism and determination. According to Don Carlo, talent alone is not enough to reach the top in football.
Carlo Ancelotti hopes for an XXL Kylian Mbappé against Atletico Madrid
The words of the Real Madrid coach about Kylian Mbappé have proven true since the player convinced the public as well as the club’s leaders.
Despite a dubious start, he has recovered and even become the club’s top scorer this season. Indeed, the Bondy native has 17 goals and 3 assists in La Liga.
The Frenchman still seems to have fallen back into his old ways in recent games. After his dental operation that kept him off the field for a few days, he has not regained his Olympic form.
The player even delivered a pale copy during the victory against Atletico Madrid in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16. Carlo Ancelotti and his staff hope that Kylian Mbappé will be in top form for the return match.
After celebrating Kylian Mbappé, Carlo Ancelotti spoke about Vinicius. For the Brazilian, the Italian coach showed himself to be like a protector. He defended the Real Madrid number 7 against the racism he is subjected to on the pitch.
“Vinicius suffers many racist attacks, but he is not the only one. It also happened to Nico Williams. We must take many steps forward. The fact that they are good players can be an excuse to attack them more, but that must not happen,” he said.
A message to Real Madrid’s youngsters
While he took pleasure in praising Kylian Mbappé and baring his teeth to defend Vinicius, Carlo Ancelotti later returned to his management of players to whom he does not give enough playing time.
“Sometimes, we have the impression that we are not valued enough. I would like to be a fly to hear what a player says when he does not play and goes home.
A lot of players argued with me. A lot of players had problems with me, but in the end everything was resolved. There was a player, I will not give his name, who, when I spoke in the locker room, put a towel over his face so as not to hear me.
It was at the beginning of his career. One day, I told him: “We can’t go on like this”. There are players who, when you leave them on the bench, have trouble greeting you in the morning. This is where they confuse the person with the player,” he concluded.
