Neither Endrick nor Mbappé: the '9' Ancelotti Wanted at Real Madrid

It is well known that Carlos Ancelotti is one of the best coaches of the moment and in the history of soccer. He has demonstrated this on several occasions when he has had to face the greatest challenges with or without Real Madrid.However, it seems that this season, despite having a great squad, he is not entirely comfortable.

This is because, from his perspective, he lacks a forward profile more similar to what Joselu was last season. This is somewhat strange having players like Endrick or Kylian Mbappé in the squad. However, even though they are footballers of great weight and quality, they are not of the same profile as the Galician.

At the time, this footballer who came from Espanyol seemed to be just another signing of the season and not what he is today.Nevertheless, it seems that he won the heart of the Italian coach by missing a similar profile to this or even the same footballer.

Ancelotti Prefers a Pure Number Nine

The Italian coach has shown on several occasions that he knows how to adapt perfectly to any context he is put in each season. However, since Karim Benzema's departure, he has not managed to find the exact point in the forward line, mainly in the center.

Something that seems to have been perfectly solved with a player like Joselu, who was available last season.A player who, in the amount of minutes he played, had a lot of weight in the team's results until qualifying the club for the final.

Nowadays, despite having great talents like the Brazilian Endrick or the French world star Kylian Mbappé, it is not the same.Therefore, there might be a desire to have a slightly more static profile in the area.

However, He Doesn't Complain

The Merengue coach knows perfectly well that he has a dream squad and doesn't complain about the way it is configured. Nevertheless, if he were given the choice, he might have opted for a completely different profile than these players.
