What Does Ancelotti Think About Mbappé’s Penalties?
The Expert’s Take
RMC Sport football pundit Kevin Diaz shared some of his interesting thoughts about Kylian’s spot kick problems. He shared,
“Looking at the missed penalty, it’s clear that anyone can miss a penalty. However, the issue lies in Mbappé wanting to take penalties despite not being a penalty specialist. He demonstrated this again over the weekend and also in the match against Liverpool. He’s not particularly skilled at taking penalties.” He pretends to watch the goalkeeper, but when it comes to the actual kick, he doesn’t look at the keeper at all. Perhaps he’s trying to emulate Neymar, especially considering the controversy surrounding penalties during his time at Paris Saint-Germain. This example of the penalty reflects, to some extent, what frustrates people about Kylian Mbappe.”
Kylian Mbappé’s Performance at Real Madrid
Despite the spot-kick issue, Kylian has still scored 10 goals for Real Madrid since his joining. Although Madrid fans & coaches expect even more from this soccer superstar. After his dramatic move from Paris to Madrid, Mbappé is still finding his feet in his new team.
What Does This Mean for Mbappé?
Every great player goes through tough moments, and this is just one challenge for Kylian Mbappe. Young athletes learn and grow from these experiences. While he’s currently struggling with spot kicks and offside issues, his overall skill and talent remain impressive.
Looking Ahead
Football fans will be watching closely to see how Mbappé responds to these challenges. Will he adjust his spot kick technique? Will he regain his confidence? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain: Kylian Mbappé is a talented player with plenty of potential to bounce back.
