There are two sides to it. [What] Mbapp\u00e9 [did] against Getafe, you might see it as insecurity, or you might see it as we do, an act of responsibility and altruism\u2026 He\u2019s a player with extraordinary talent, he might be the biggest talent in football, and he puts that [at the service of] the team. I value that a lot, personally.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mbapp\u00e9\u2019s performances have been scrutinised in recent weeks, although he\u2019s still managed eight goals in 13 LaLiga games so far this season.<\/p>\n<p>Ancelotti denied one journalist\u2019s suggestion that his unwillingness to take a penalty against Getafe showed a lack of leadership or courage.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t see it like that,\u201d Ancelotti said. \u201cIt\u2019s important for the team, his teammates, all of us, within the dressing room. We value it as I said before, a great act of altruism. When a great talent is altruistic, you\u2019re on the right track.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 2 -->\n\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Carlo Ancelotti and Mbapp\u00e9\u00a0 \u00a0 Carlo Ancelotti has backed Kylian Mbapp\u00e9 for not taking a penalty kick for Real Madrid against Getafe on Sunday \u2014 allowing Jude Bellingham to score instead \u2014 calling the decision \u201ca great act of altruism.\u201d Mbapp\u00e9 was under pressure to find the net at the Bernab\u00e9u after managing just two [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":260351,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-260350","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-local-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 -
