Two of the goals against Valladolid came after Mbappé was substituted in the 86th minute, including the debut goal for young striker Endrick, who replaced the France international.
"Every year the squad changes, the structure of the team changes, it's completely normal,"
Ancelotti said at a press conference on Wednesday ahead of Madrid's next LaLiga game against Las Palmas. "Last year we also needed time. At the beginning we won a lot of games in the last minutes. This year we have to adapt
the team a little and find the best version."
Rodrigo Goes scored against Mallorca, while Federico Valverde and Brahim Diaz also scored against Valladolid.
"We have a lot of resources," Ancelotti said. "We played
three games and scored six goals, even though the team was not in top form. Not
scoring goals doesn't happen. It has never happened here before."
Ancelotti added: "Mbappe's last goal was on August 14 (in the
Super Cup) and today is August 28." "Two weeks have passed, it's not
time to worry. He's not worried, we're not worried. Vinicius (Junior) hasn't
scored a goal in the last three games, but he doesn't seem worried."
Some Madrid fans have criticised the attacking team's work rate without the ball in previous La Liga games.
"We need a compact team," Ancelotti said. "The work of
the strikers and the defenders is important. If the strikers press and the defense
doesn't give in, the team is not compact. If the defense retreats and the
strikers don't retreat, the team is not compact. It's not about individual
players."
