Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti has told Kylian Mbappe to focus on scoring goals over pressing to help the team.
In a press conference on Monday ahead of Tuesday's Champions League clash against Borussia Dortmund, the Italian tactician stated that the central striker position in the team has not changed.
Recall that Mbappe has scored eight goals for Madrid in 12 games across all competitions this season, compared to Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski's 14 in 12 appearances.
"I prefer that (Mbappe) scores goals than he presses," Ancelotti told a news conference.
"The central striker position in our team has not changed, I ask him the same I asked of Karim (Benzema, who left in 2023).
"To be well positioned and to be ready every time we get the ball back to make a rapid transition."
