Juanma Rodríguez Explodes over Mbappé's Penalty and Screams: 'It's Not His Fault'

Real Madrid are defeated in their visit to San Mamés , a circumstance that could have been avoided if Kylian Mbappé had been successful in the penalty he decided to take. As happened in the match against Liverpool , the error of the French striker 'condemned', in part, the white club.

All the analyzes and comments produced since then have left a very direct opinion. Juanma Rodríguez , during his intervention in 'El Chiringuito de Jugones', understands that "it is not a problem of whether Mbappé fails or succeeds. It is a problem of management by the coach."

In this sense, the Real Madrid commentator points directly to Carlo Ancelotti as one of the determining factors in the situation that the team is experiencing. According to Juanma Rodríguez, "it can't be that Carlo Ancelotti goes into the press room" to remind us of the order of launch established at the beginning of the season: "'Vinichus' or Mbappé or Bellingham" .

The discontent of the Real Madrid pundit is more than noticeable: "No, listen to me. You get paid for deciding who takes the penalties. If you think that Mbappé is not fit to take the penalties, Bellingham has to take them, that's it, it's over."

Total Sincerity

Juanma Rodríguez offers a really expeditious solution to a dilemma that Real Madrid has been dragging around since the beginning of the season. Because the coaching staff seems to be clear that Vinícius has priority when it comes to taking penalties : from there, it is the players who decide.

The commentator on 'El Chiringuito de Jugones' doesn't seem to agree with this model, making it clear that it should be Carlo Ancelotti who takes direct charge of this aspect. The preparation of set pieces, according to Juanma Rodríguez , would need more work at Valdebebas.

The delicate balance that Reggiolo's manager maintains in the white locker room, with measures such as the one criticized by the veteran journalist, has led to decisions that generate a lot of controversy . Juanma Rodríguez would opt for a much more direct style , imposing the coach's will.

Because he is really the one who makes all the decisions at a technical and tactical level. Carlo Ancelotti's workhasn't yet aroused suspicion in the offices of Valdebebas, but it hasprovoked some 'warnings' from the board of directors led by Florentino Pérez. It is imperative to change course before it is too late .
