Real Madrid manager, Carlo Ancelotti has brushed aside speculation linking the club with a move for Kylian Mbappe. He recently insisted that he remains focused on the job at hand, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, he understands the Mbappe subject being a topic for the media, but he is solely concentrating on winning Real Madrid’s next game.
Ancelotti added that he believes the French striker would disrupt the balance of his current squad.
His words, “I see and hear everything but nothing else. I understand that it’s the topic of the day for you but not for us. We have prepared for tomorrow’s game and that’s what we have talked about, not about anything else. I’d like to work on this season, there’s a long time to go before next season.”
“If I’m worried about Mbappe, do you see me worried? I think it’s going to be the same for the next few press conferences, I’m not worried.”
On if Mbappe would disrupt the balance of the squad, “Yes, I agree that good players can play together, but the important thing is to keep the balance. The most important thing is quality and balance. If you combine those two aspects well, it’s good.”
WOW.
