Coach Carlo Ancelotti said on Saturday that the French star Kylian Mbappe “ascending and landing” is expected because of the Real Madrid season, which is asking for his quality. The striker was a bad performance against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League and the former Spanish League match against Real Betis, a few days after a trilogy against Manchester City. In his first few months in Madrid, MBAPPE struggled after joining last summer from Paris Saint -Germain before he exploded in its form, but his last manifestations caused anxiety among fans.
“What we saw is that against Atletico did not do what he did against City,” Ancelotti told a news conference before Rayo Vallecano’s visit in the Spanish League on Sunday.
“Against City scored three and against Atletico was not registered.
“I think it is generally that it works very well and we are very happy with him, and we take into account – he takes into account – that he is not always at his best.
“The game was not the best version of Atletico.”
Real Madrid defeated their city’s competitors 2-1 in the first stage of the last 16 ties, with a return on Wednesday at the Metropolitan Stadium.
In the water round against City, the Premier League champions, Mbappe achieved four goals on the legs, with Madrid won 6-3 by assembly.
The 26 -year -old striker includes 28 goals in 41 games in all competitions.
Ancelotti said: “In such a difficult season (lack of consistency) is very normal, above all in a player who has such a quality,” Ancelotti said.
“Quality players have more rise and landing because it is a hereditary thing, for the high -quality player finds it difficult to consider, and this is what happened to him in that game.
“He said that he is in very good condition, and if we are in the last Champions League, it is because he scored four goals in the (previous) tie.”
Madrid is third in the Spanish league, which is three points behind Barcelona leaders, who face Osasuna on Saturday.
Spanish media reported that Antonio Rudiger may be absent from Saddam Rayo through illness.
“We are ready to fight in all games and in all competitions,” Ancelotti, who said that the defeat by Betis a week ago came because the team had no little time to prepare.
“I am quieter in the game tomorrow because we have passed five days of comfort.”
