Ancelotti: Mbappe and Vinicius decide who takes the penalty

Real Madrid only got 5 points in the first 3 rounds of the league. Obviously, there can be no mistakes in the home game against Betis this weekend. Coach Ancelotti said at the pre-match press conference that the team has found the problem and explained the arrangement of the penalty taker.

I think the fans will help us. After the hard battle with Las Palmas, we want to show our best side. The team is eager to play another wonderful game and regain the previous solid defense.

There is enough time because we are used to this schedule and we have never had much time to prepare. We have found the problems in the game and hope to give satisfactory answers tomorrow.

It is not a bad thing to have concerns because it means that you are concentrating on solving the problem. So far, we have not been able to maintain a compact formation in the game. We must improve this through collective efforts. I have talked to the players and they have exactly the same idea as me. When the problem is clear, it is easy to solve it.

It is not that complicated. We must improve our defense, which requires collective efforts because now there is only individual investment. The statistics do not show that we conceded many goals, but the feeling is that we had difficulty getting the ball back and that the opposition's combination in the middle and front court hurt us. This is a problem we face and we will solve it.

This is a detail, what affects us more is that we did not play at our best level, rather than being four points behind the top of the table, because the season is long. We are not satisfied because we are four points behind, but because we did not play well.

Absolutely not, we will solve the problems little by little, we will fight to the end, there is no doubt about that.

It is up to the players to decide.

He is an important player for us, it is true that he did not get the playing time he wanted or deserved, but we are happy that he stayed. He is a very serious professional and will be very useful to us.

If we have to think about the defensive problems, then Kylian (Mbappe) is the last player to consider. In my opinion, Kylian is doing well, he has not scored yet, but he is very threatening and his movement in the front court is very good. I don't think there are adaptation problems... As I said before, defense is more of a team effort and the forwards are obviously less involved in defense than other players.

No, criticism is very normal here and we are not worried at all because the criticism against us will continue until May next year, no matter what happens then... This is normal for us.

In my opinion, the two of them work very well together and do a very good job in attack, which is not a problem because we score in every game. In time, they will work better together, not only Vinicius and Mbappe, but also Mbappe and the other midfielders. We have no problem in attack, we have not had problems in these years and we will not have problems now because we have some of the best forwards in the world.

They can switch positions on the field, Vinicius will appear more on the left, and I think we will continue to play like this.

I think it is right to give the responsibility to Mbappe and Vinicius, because they both have the ability to take penalties and I don't want to influence their decisions. I have full trust in both of them and there is no problem. It will depend on their status in the game and what everyone needs.
