Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti has expressed confidence in his strikers Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Junior despite criticism following a slow start to the season. Mbappe, who recently joined the club from Paris Saint-Germain, scored a brace in his last game after a goalless streak in La Liga matches. Vinicius, on the other hand, has only one goal in the opening four games.
Ancelotti stated that both players are not letting the criticism affect them and are training well and happy. He acknowledged that Mbappe is still adjusting to his new team and position, while Vinicius, although not in top form, remains an important player for Real Madrid.
The coach emphasized that he is not worried about Vinicius and believes that with time, the Brazilian will regain his top form. Real Madrid is set to face Real Sociedad in La Liga before their first Champions League match against Stuttgart. Ancelotti mentioned that midfielders Jude Bellingham and Aurelien Tchouameni may not be available for the upcoming match but could return soon.
Overall, Ancelotti remains optimistic about the potential of both Mbappe and Vinicius and is confident that they will deliver strong performances as the season progresses.
