And Mbappé what, Real Madrid player again?

In the pre-match press conference Carlo Ancelotti had to answer a few questions about a player from the French League who is rumored to be able to play for Real Madrid next season.

Madrid will not have a better coach to put up with this nonsense than Ancelotti.

–What do you think of Mbappé, coach?

–We are looking forward to it, very much looking forward to it.

In recent weeks we have worked on tactics in which you can be better accommodated.

Maybe we have to get rid of valuable players, with a good market, I think we all know who we may be talking about [smiles].

Those at the top will play less, or they will rotate, Vini, Bellingham, I don't know, right now I don't know, nor do I know what Mbappé's signing will be, but it won't affect the coexistence of the locker room.

In short, we are looking forward to him arriving, we are looking forward to receiving him in the preseason and right now our minds are on him and next year, when he feels comfortable here and gives us many things.

–Mister, I have asked you the first eleven questions about Mbappé, but don't you think it is disrespectful to Rayo not to talk about the game they are playing in less than 24 hours?

In less than 24 hours, mister!

[he tries to cut his wrists, he is held by several people]

–[Ancelotti getting up from his chair with his eyebrow raised and asking Chendo] And don't you ask me about the Galician elections?

Mbappé tells PSG that he will leave in June and assures them that he has not yet signed with Madrid

Coaches have been asked about Mbappé who are preparing their games outside of Madrid

and Madrid

and who suddenly have to respond to the “possible arrival of Mbappé to the Spanish League” as if their lives depended on it.

But the League is more complicated than all that.

The League is Vallecas, a rival like Rayo and a miracle draw after having the game on track after a beautiful counterattack executed by Joselu.

And with Mbappé, if there is Mbappé, life will continue to be like this.

There are things that never change and those things are summarized in that, in the elite, if you are not focused on Wednesday and Sunday, you lose both days.

Goals or rivals can take you out of the game, never the press.

Madrid came out in Vallecas plugged in and was taken out of the game by a penalty from Camavinga and his corresponding Rayista goal, which left him stunned, dense, full of doubts about being and nothingness: all those things that affect Madrid, another philosophical giant than a club.

At a wonderful time and with spectacular sun (what wouldn't Xavi, now champion in Big Data, do with that?), Rayo and his opponent fought, measured themselves and ended up immersed in the pragmatic philosophy that Ancelotti exhibited at the end of the match : “The games you can't win, don't lose.”

In that press conference, Ancelotti also had to answer for Mbappé.

–Did it deconcentrate the team?, they asked him.

–I don't know if unconcentrate is the right verb.

Obviously our minds were in Nantes yesterday, where PSG played a great game and won with a goal from our future star, but today we were back in the League and on our mission.

Yes, there were movements above related to pressure and unchecking that we have been training for when La Tortuga arrives, offensive mechanisms perhaps not suitable for a Joselu and that perhaps penalized us in Vallecas;

but next season, with Kylian, they will make complete sense.

The important thing is we already know what it is;

This is not only Madrid, it is also its environment, and we all need to work together so that Mbappé finds the right house in Madrid.

It is not easy, the prices are as they are and in this sense the PP of Madrid, I think, I think, eh?, should pay attention to rent regularization policies, it is everyone's thing.
