Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti said strikers Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Junior were not letting critics weigh them down after an underwhelming start to the season. New arrival Mbappe netted a brace in his last outing for the club following three La Liga games without a goal, while Vinicius has one strike in the opening four matches.

“They don’t seem affected to me, they are training well, happy. Kylian is progressing each day,” Ancelotti told a news conference on Friday. “Many forget they started pre-season in the middle of August...they didn’t have a pre-season, they have improved their fitness with games. They seem very well to me, and happy.”
French superstar Mbappe joined Madrid at the end of his Paris Saint-Germain contract this summer and Ancelotti is still working out how to get the best from the forward, who like Vinicius, prefers to drift in from the left.
