Real Madrid: Real Madrid Mbappe scores less, loses more, stays at zero more times...

The football lines are vague. If you add the Champions of Europe and the league to Kylian Mbappe é What he imagines is a greased-up winning machine joined by a piece that doubles his destructive power. More if this team is called Real Madrid. However, at the moment, nothing is like what one might think when the official statement appeared on June 3 to announce (Mbappe) é As a new player in Madrid.

Six months later., At the beginning of December, the reality of Madrid It is a team that does not find serenity. The course, the winning routine. “We have to get better, get back to being solid, which we are not,” he commented Ancelotti After that in San Mames His team’s losing tally stood at five, already more than double last season.

Comparison with what happened last season is inevitable. As it is to put (Mbappe) é At the center of the discussion. Beyond the penalties missed before Liverpool and AtletiC , it is a very far guide from the player whom everyone considered the natural heir of Messi and Cristiano. “He is not at his best,” says his coach, realizing that the Frenchman’s 10 goals and two assists do not hide reality.

The Real Madrid coach defended the French striker after the defeat in Saint-Mames, where he missed a penalty kick.

And this fact says that Real Madrid from (Mbappe) é I can’t stand the comparison with last season. With the same league matches (15), the same Champions League matches (5) and one more this campaign thanks to the UEFA Super Cup, this Madrid has five fewer goals: 31 against 33 in La Liga, 9 against 13 in Europe and two against Atalanta in Warsaw in August. 42 against 46 despite having one of the best scorers in the world.

The five defeats of the current season are already attracting attention in themselves in such a team as Madrid, Even more so when three arrived Europe. Last season, Ancelotti had only one goal: 3-1 at Atletico Madrid, the only one in La Liga even Classic From this campaign.

In the irregular manner of this exercise, Madrid has already added three matches without scoring. It happened only twice last season , both at home: on November 5, against Lightning, And in the farewell League against Betis, which was a little less than a friendly match with eyes on the final of Wembley. In the Houses of Lille and Liverpool Remained at zero, versus Barcelona At the Bernabeu.

All this means that if you look a year ago, you would see Madrid in second place in the Liga, four points less than Barcelona , which would be one if they won it Mastala In the postponed match And never fail before. Last season, with 15 games, he was the leader with 38 points (four less than now) , the same Girona And four more from Barcelona. In Europe, he qualified eighth with one day remaining. Now travel to Bergamo With a very delicate situation. Not because it is very difficult to finish in the top eight and avoid the round, but because it is now closing the list of the 24 who are making the cut.

Rodrigo, missing

That (Mbappe) éHe has problems is something that he does not even hide. “It’s time to show who I am,”he said after the defeat of San Mames in a self-congratulatory message. But what surrounds the French, with Vinicius Absent due to injury, does not help. Rodrigo, With two injuries, he has not scored since September 24. His contribution is three goals: Mallorca, Espanyol and Alaves. In Europe it is at zero. Just a year ago he fought five matches in a row with a goal that he had not achieved before, bringing his tally to eight goals. He finished the season with 17 goals.

Bellingham I’ve become grounded again. The 15 goals he scored at the beginning of last December clash with the four he has now. Of course, the Englishman has scored in his last four matches in the Liga.

Then there is the second module. Last season it was necessary what contributed from the bench or in the face of injuries Joselu (18 goals) and Ibrahim. The striker, who is now in Qatar, scored six goals (five in the league and one in the Champions League). For his part, Ibrahim He completely changed Ancelotti’s plans. Every time he appeared it was to improve the team and the result. Without being hardly a starting player, he had three goals. In this, with a serious injury, he scored only against Valladolid, on the second day of the league.

With (Mbappe) é Looking for the same, Madrid is looking for the Parisian, Ancelotti is trying to find the key to the team in which the farewell Cross He has caused a lot of waterways and the club understands that the situation due to injuries makes looking at the Winter Market, Madrid faces a more important month in December than it would like. Girona, Atalanta and Botafogo They appear on the near horizon threatening.
