Real Madrid manager, Carlo Ancelotti has come out to say that Kylian Mbappe is not being restricted at the club by playing as a striker. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, Mbappe remains a spectacular forward wherever he plays his football because he is fast and attacks space intelligently on the pitch.
Ancelotti added that the French striker will eventually score a lot of goals like he is known to do in any teams he has played for.
His words, “Mbappé is not penalised at all by playing as a No. 9. He is a spectacular forward, fast, he moves very well without the ball, he attacks space. Today he had three or four chances and he is going to score as he has always scored, no matter what position he plays in.”
WOW.
