Real Madrid's first game in LaLiga ended in disappointment and with undisguised anger from Carlo Ancelotti. The Italian coach spoke clearly at the press conference and lamented his team's lack of balance and expressed his annoyance with the lack of defensive commitment. Mbappé's surprise exclusion from Real Madrid squad during debut day There was a scene at halftime when the team was about to return to the field, in which Jude Bellingham puts the focus on forwards not taking their chances. In a conversation captured by Movistar, Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Jr are talking about swapping their positions and how complicated it is for Mallorca to stop them when they do that. "I think when we switch they don't expect us there. And you can give passes to the other side, fast," Mbappe says. Then Bellingham appears, with a request: "You three, finish the attack, because the running back... it's f*****g hard." Mbappe seems to agree with him: "That's what I say, we have to finish something. And the Englishman says: "Try, try, try. Create a yard and shoot..." The Mallorca goal came after a lost ball that they took advantage of to run and get a corner which would end in Vedat Muriqi's shot.

"Balance is found with players who think the same when we have to win the ball back. We have to go all together. Everyone may think it's a problem of the strikers, but it can also be a problem of the defenders or the midfielders. They didn't understand that this was a very important aspect. Mallorca played a great game and were better than us," he said. And he insisted on talking about commitment: "The defensive aspect was not good. It was difficult for us to steal the ball, to press after losing the ball. When we talk about the defensive aspect, we are talking about the collective commitment".
