Carlo Ancelotti Promises to Find a Place for New Signing Kylian Mbappe in the Starting XI
Real Madrid’s head coach Carlo Ancelotti has promised that new signing Kylian Mbappe will find a place in the team. Mbappe, who completed a free transfer from Paris Saint-Germain, was introduced to 80,000 fans at the Bernabeu earlier this week. However, as the 2024/2025 season approaches, there are some concerns about where Mbappe will play in an attack line filled with talented players like Vinicius Jr., Rodrygo, and Jude Bellingham.
Ancelotti’s Statements
Carlo Ancelotti dismissed these concerns, stating, “We will find a place for him, I will find a place for him.” Ancelotti expressed his determination during a speech at the Giffoni Film Festival on Saturday.
Mbappe’s Role in the Team
Jude Bellingham was President Florentino Perez’s Galactico signing last season and became a standout player in European football as Madrid won both the league and the Champions League. Ancelotti commented on the rise of the English player, saying, “It was a surprise, but it showed that success is in his genetics. At just 21, he showed great character and passion, and his genetics work in his favor. A champion is a champion because of their genetics. Training certainly helps, but above all, it’s about genetics.”
Future Plans
In addition to discussing Mbappe’s future in the team, the Italian coach also addressed rumors about possibly taking over the Brazilian National Team. Ancelotti denied these rumors, stating, “When Madrid gets tired of me, I will have to think about what to do. On one hand, I would like to spend more time with my family and travel. But if I still have the excitement, I will definitely find a drive to continue. Living daily, having time to develop is more appealing to me, and that’s difficult with a national team.”
