Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti said his misfiring striker Kylian Mbappe needs to be calm and be patience as he continues to struggle with the Los Bloncos.
Mbappe fluffed a penalty kick in Wednesday night’s Champions League tie against Liverpool at Anfield and he was largely ineffective throughout the match Real Madrid lost 2-0. Mbapped was heavily criticised by the Spanish press after the latest display.
But speaking on the issue Ancelotti said: “It has happened many times that forwards have a hard time scoring. There is a medicine which is to be patient.
“It is a difficult moment for him, especially after missing the penalty. Everyone has to support him. He may be a bit lacking in confidence. When things don’t go your way, the idea you have to have is to play simple.
“It’s a bit like this moment, but you can’t judge him for missing a penalty. All players miss penalties. He has to keep working well. We have to be patient because he’s an extraordinary player.”
