Carlo Ancelotti explains why Kylian Mbappe is 'everyone's problem' | OneFootball

Carlo Ancelotti has explained why Kylian Mbappe has become 'everyone's problem' after struggling to make an impact so far at Real Madrid.

The former Paris Saint-Germain forward's highly-anticipated move from the French to the Spanish capital in the summer came with huge expectations. He joined an attacking lineup consisting of stars such as Vincius Junior and Jude Bellingham - but so far the Spanish champions have struggled to impress in La Liga and the Champions League.

Madrid boss Ancelotti thought he had found the answer to Mbappe's slow start to life in Spain by starting him on the left-wing during their 3-0 win over Leganes. However, despite netting against Getafe on Sunday, Mbappe has still not reached the heights that fans were hoping for.

"His [Mbappe's] problem is everyone's problem," Ancelotti told reporters after the Getafe clash. "We must try to get the best out of ourselves: his, mine and that of other players. The problem is not with one player, but with a team that has not been able to have continuity or get the best out of itself.

"Our idea is to improve and do everything possible to achieve that. Mbappe's idea is the same as everyone else's. It's not an individual problem for a player who is new, who is adapting, has scored goals and has participated in the attacking play with assists. He can do better, like all of us.

"He is aware that he has to do better and he will try, like everyone else. The Liverpool game is centred on him because he missed the penalty, but many have missed a penalty, and we have to try to continue supporting and think that it is a collective problem.

"I'm like Mbappe. I'm trying everything to get the best version of myself. The results say that I haven't gotten the best version of myself. I'm not happy, but I'm worried enough. I'm convinced that we're going to fix it, as always. On a personal level, I'm very happy. A coach's mirror is the team. When he's not focused or lacks attitude, it's the coach's responsibility."

Madrid return to action on Wednesday when they face Athletic Club in La Liga.
