"I think his adaptation period is already over", Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti said of the captain of the French national team Kylian Mbappe at his press conference before the match against Sevilla tomorrow, BTA reported.
"Now he shows his true face. In the last matches he was good, but he can still improve", the Italian specialist believes. "He's more motivated, more enthusiastic, he's happy to be here," he added.
Mbappe celebrates his 26th birthday on Friday, having struggled since his start at Real Madrid, with injuries and psychological difficulties to boot, in addition to a slump in form.
The Frenchman has still scored 13 goals in 23 games in all competitions for the Royal Club. Mbappe was the top scorer in Ligue 1 six times in a row before his move to Real.
The striker pulled out of the Champions League match against Atalanta on December 10 with an injury and will miss the league match against Rayo Vallecano, but was one of the scorers in the 3-0 win over Mexican side Pachuca in the Intercontinental Cup final.
