Capello Says Ancelotti Helped Mbappe Overcome His Slow Start at Real Madrid
Legendary Italian coach Fabio Capello has shed light on how Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti played a key role in helping Kylian Mbappe find his form after a rough start.
The French World Cup winner arrived at Madrid last summer after a long transfer saga following his dominance in France with PSG. Expectations were sky-high, but his early days at Valdebebas were far from smooth. He failed to score in his first three La Liga matches and managed just one goal in Madrid’s first five Champions League games.
However, Mbappe has since turned things around. He has scored six goals in his last four Champions League appearances and netted eight times in his last nine La Liga games.
Speaking to the press, Capello credited Ancelotti for understanding Mbappe’s needs and guiding him back to his best. “He has helped Kylian Mbappe a lot, and that is his merit. The most important thing for a coach is to understand his players and where he wants to go. If he doesn’t, it’s a failure. Ancelotti understands him perfectly,” Capello said.
He also dismissed early criticism of the French star, adding, “Many people doubted him, but they didn’t understand anything. Now, you can see he is an extraordinary player at the highest level.”
Mbappe has now scored 27 goals and provided four assists in 39 appearances across all competitions this season, proving once again why he is one of the best in the world.
Former footballer Paul Scholes condemns Martin Odegaard and speaks on his performance in the Arsenal team.
The football legend shared how it is the captain that is bringing the team down, as he is not playing his position properly “That game on Saturday [Arsenal vs Newcastle], I didn’t see all of it, I probably saw the first half an hour, but I think Odegaard is a big problem for them.”
“I love Odegaard, I think he’s brilliant. Technically, he’s great, but he doesn’t play his position properly. Half the time I saw him in the first 20 minutes, he was almost the deepest man.”
Nigerian politician Peter Obi reacts to the viral incident that occurred in Delta State.
It can be noted that Obi is reacting to the clip of a police officer shooting and killing an already restrained suspect.
Obi stated that it was a serious violation and abuse of power “The extrajudicial killing of a young Nigerian in Effurun, Delta State, by a police officer, Mr. Mene Ogidi, is not only barbaric but also a grave violation of the rule of law.
“Over time, human society has moved away from an era when lives could be taken without consequence. Through the evolution of civilisation, a fundamental principle has emerged: no one should be punished or deprived of life without due process and a fair determination of guilt.”
It has been reported that a four-year ban has been placed on Chelsea’s player, Mykhailo Mudryk, for anti-doping violations.
The player appealed in court on February 25 but has now been handed his punishment, which is a four-year ban from football.
It can be recalled that his last appearance on the field was on November 28, 2024.
