Following a resounding 2-0 victory over Manchester United during their tour in the United States, Coach Carlo Ancelotti expressed his confidence in the well-rounded squad he currently possesses. He especially praised his protege, Luka Modric, who put on a stellar performance during the match.
Match Recap:
Real Madrid secured a 2-0 win against Manchester United, courtesy of goals from new signing Jude Bellingham and Joselu. This victory serves as the perfect momentum builder for the Whites before their upcoming clash against Barcelona in the summer tour.
Ancelotti’s Remarks:
After the match, HLV Carlo Ancelotti declined to comment on Kylian Mbappe, stating, “Can we talk about something else? Our squad is perfectly fine, and there are no issues. If I had a squad lacking in quality, it would be a major concern, but Real Madrid’s lineup is excellent and complete.”
Praising the Performers:
Ancelotti lauded Jude Bellingham for his splendid goal, showcasing his impeccable timing and positioning. The coach also highlighted Joselu’s extraordinary goal, a rare sight to witness. The team is currently practicing a 4-4-2 formation with Rodrygo and Vinicius upfront, both players posing great threats with the ball. Ancelotti believes that with Bellingham’s contribution, Real Madrid can play a more direct style of football.
The Mbappe Pursuit:
Kylian Mbappe remains the top target for Los Blancos this summer. The French striker has been excluded from PSG’s preseason tour as transfer negotiations continue. PSG prioritizes an early sale of Mbappe before his contract expires in the summer of 2024.
With an impressive win against Manchester United and a well-rounded squad at his disposal, Ancelotti remains optimistic about Real Madrid’s prospects. The pursuit of Mbappe adds further excitement to the summer transfer window, as Los Blancos aim to strengthen their attacking prowess for the upcoming season.
