The League is back and the champion returns to the scene, once the significant loss of Carvajal has been assimilated, broken for the entire season against the Villarreal. Misfortune that will make Lucas and Militao responsible for the right side throughout the season. Tonight, in Balaídos (9:00 p.m., DAZN)against a Celta that is offering a great image and obtaining good results at the start of the season, it will be the turn of the Galician player. As it will also be for Mbappé, now fully recovered from the injury that kept him out of the derby and that made him play in cotton in Lille and against Villarreal.
«Mbappé has taken advantage of the break to recover from his injury and improve his physical condition. He is fine, happy and eager to be important. Now he is a different player than he was before the break. “He is very close to being one hundred percent physically and mentally,” Ancelotti revealed yesterday in Valdebebas.
His non-call-up with France has given Kylian fifteen days of margin to carry out a mini-preseason, which is exactly what he did not do after his summer vacation. After only six training sessions, he was already competing in the European Super Cup and, although his numbers to date are good, at the moment the best has not been seen. Mbappe. Something that Ancelotti expects in these next three weeks where the whites will play against Borussia and Milan in the Champions League, in addition to the classic at the Bernabéu in eight days: “The field is what will judge, but my feelings are very good” .
The club, as Ancelotti staged yesterday, considers the serious accusations by the Swedish press towards Mbappé and an alleged rape that occurred during his days off in Stockholm to be mere speculation. There has been no interrogation of Kylian, neither about the place of his trip nor about what he did there. Carletto focuses on football, as he does Mbappé, that he has not tired of repeating to his closest people that he has not done anything wrong, that he has a clear conscience and that he continues to think that behind all this there is a smear campaign led by PSG, with whom he maintains a dispute over 55 million euros.
Next to Mbappé, he will be up there Vinicius, who was also not with his team during the international break due to cervical problems from which he has also now fully recovered. The Brazilian has also taken advantage of his stay in Madrid to increase the intensity and workload, knowing that his start to the season has been below expectations. On the short-term horizon, the Ballon d’Or gala, which on Monday the 28th will award him the best player in the world last season, and Mestalla, on Saturday, November 2.
But the first thing is the Celtic in Balaídos, a field where the great usually suffer. There Ancelotti will direct his 200th game in the League as coach of Real Madrid. The Italian was unaware of the figure and aims to increase it: «I didn’t know he had 200. Here the objective is to add as many games as possible. Now, let’s go for 300.
