Real Madrid Confidencial Álvaro Benito, Fed Up, Reveals What is Happening to Mbappé and Points to Carlo Ancelotti
The former player and sports commentator points out that the problem is with the team, not with individuals.
Álvaro Benito is an authoritative voice as a former Real Madrid player, former coach and current analyst on Cadena SER and Movistar .
In his latest statements, he hasn't held back when talking about the problems of the white team. He analyzed Kylian Mbappé's performance and launched a criticism toward Carlo Ancelotti .
“ Mbappé is not performing at the expected level, but I don’t think it’s an individual problem ,” said Benito. “ Real Madrid need to improve as a team. If the collective behavior doesn’t change, it’s difficult for the players to shine .”
The analyst was clear in pointing out that it is not enough to focus on specific names. For him, the problem lies in the way the team approaches the matches.
Mbappé's Role at Real Madrid
Mbappé arrived at the club this summer as a big star. His transfer promised goals and offensive leadership. However, in recent games his performance has raised doubts.
“ It’s normal that there are ups and downs ,” said Álvaro Benito. “ But the problem is not only his. If Madrid improves collectively, Mbappé will too .”
The Frenchman has been isolated in some matches. This has meant that his influence on the game has been limited. Ancelotti has tried to adjust the system, but the results haven't been convincing.
Criticism of Ancelotti
Benito also took aim at the Italian coach. Although he acknowledged his experience, he believes there are aspects that he is not managing well.
“ Real Madrid needs a clear system, where everyone knows what they have to do ,” he said. “ If that doesn’t happen, the players feel lost. And that affects even the best, like Mbappé .”
Ancelotti's management has been the subject of debate in recent weeks, with some criticizing his tactical decisions and lack of rotations.
A collective solution
For Álvaro Benito, the key is teamwork. “ It is not about waiting for Mbappé to solve everything ,” he concluded.
“ It is Real Madrid that must work as a unit. Only then can good results return .”
Benito's words reflect a growing concern among fans. Will Ancelotti be able to find the formula to get the best out of Mbappé and the team? Only time will tell.
