A great world football coach has given his opinion on the current stars in Europe.
His words are always widely listened to. At the age of 77, Fabio Capello keeps a very informed eye on the landscape of world football. Star consultant for Italian television, the former coach of Juventus and Real Madrid has great legitimacy in this football country.
Capello spoke this week to give a long interview to the Spanish daily Marca. The Italian takes the opportunity to play the game of comparisons with current stars. According to him, Kylian Mbappé only has one competitor for the Ballon d’Or in the future, and it is not necessarily Erling Haaland.
“They have something different”
Fabio Capello believes that Kylian Mbappé and Jude Bellingham should be classified in another caste than that of the Norwegian, whom he considers more rustic. “ It’s just that they both have more technical quality than Haaland, Capello said.. The Norwegian is an extraordinary striker, an animal, and he is also technically good, a goal man. But Mbappé and Bellingham have everything: goals, technical quality, dribbling…. Haaland is a penalty area player, best as a pure striker, as a number 9. But Mbappé and Bellingham are something different“, concluded the Italian.
