Real Madrid picked up an important 3 points against Real Betis. The fate of the match was decided in the 2nd half, in which Kylian Mbappé scored his first 2 goals in the Spanish LaLiga. Carlo Ancelotti was able to relax for once and walk to the post-match press conference.
- Mbappé opened the scoring in the 67th minute and in the 75th minute he increased the score to 2-0 from a penalty
- This time, Vinícius and Mbappé did not interfere with each other
- Ancelotti identifies Tchouameni as key to success at press conference
“We are not nervous or frustrated from the previous games, rather motivated. But this time we deserved to win, we played much better than in the last game. We have to keep working hard,” the experienced manager started the conference.
However, the upcoming national break complicates the path to the top, as most of the players will leave the club. “Such a break is never good, most of the players will leave the club. Hopefully nobody gets injured, the worst players are from South America. I just want them all to come back healthy,” Ancelotti concluded on the subject of national teams.
Of course, any injury would not help the team at all, especially in defence. Only the Militao-Rüdiger duo is healthy at the stopper position, Alaba is still out and Vallejo does not have the quality to get regular minutes in the Real Madrid line-up.
Although Tchouameni could step in here, there is currently no replacement for his position. Eduardo Camavinga is currently injured.
Before Kylian Mbappé himself was mentioned, the Italian strategist brought up Tchouameni. According to the Italian, the defensive midfielder showed all his qualities. The Frenchman is only gradually learning how to manage the game like Toni Kroos in the past years, but that shouldn’t be a problem for him in the future.
Mbappé finally scores
The French striker had several chances in the first half, but they didn’t end in goals. It wasn’t until a 67th minute shot when Mbappé got into a face-to-face situation with the goalkeeper and handled it expertly. Of particular note was a great penetrating heel pass from Valverde.
“He was never under pressure in terms of scoring goals. He played really well today, just like everyone else. Kylian moved well in the penalty area and was able to match Vini and Rodryg,” the Italian grinned with satisfaction.
It was the match with his attacking partners that was the main topic after the game against Las Palmas. This time the Frenchman moved more in the middle and the Brazilian on the left, so they did not interfere with each other.
After the game, the scorer of both goals came to the reporters and talked about himself. He knows that his arrival has changed a lot of things. “You can all see that we are improving, can’t you? I feel very good in the team,” the French goal scorer concluded the interview.
