Who will take Real Madrid penalties in the next matches?! A disastrous answer from Ancelotti
Real Madrid is preparing to face Real Betis tomorrow, Sunday, at the Santiago Bernabeu, in the fourth round of the Spanish League.
Real Madrid had collected 5 points from their first three La Liga matches, drawing with Mallorca and Las Palmas and beating Valladolid, which generated a lot of criticism for the coach and players.
One of the things that has been discussed is who takes the penalties for Real Madrid with Vinicius and Mbappé. In the last match against Las Palmas, the Whites were awarded a penalty kick that Vinicius took.
But there were voices calling for the necessity of giving penalty kicks to Mbappe, as he is one of the best penalty takers in the world currently, and therefore Ancelotti was asked about who will take the next penalty kicks, and he gave an answer that seemed disastrous because it opened the way for disagreement between the players during the matches.
“It is a decision for the players to make,” Ancelotti said.
Then he added: “It is better to give responsibility to both Mbappe and Vinicius, so I prefer that they decide because I have great confidence in them. It will depend on how they are in the match and what each of them needs.”
