Despite his dizzying statistics, Kylian Mbappé continues to fuel debate.
A world champion title at 19, goals and records in spades: Kylian Mbappé is already looming over world football, 7 years after his emergence. But the performance of the Bondy prodigy is not enough to achieve unanimous approval among observers.
In France, Kylian Mbappé does not escape criticism. His attitude can be singled out, as can certain characteristics of his game. The Paris Saint-Germain striker has been criticized in particular for relying too much on his speed. A criticism made by several former French internationals, such as consultants Christophe Dugarry or Johan Micoud.
“He has a special talent”
If there is a great champion well placed to judge this aspect of Mbappé’s game, it is Usain Bolt. The fastest man in the world has always admired the French star’s technical profile. But he wants to emphasize that we should not reduce him to an athlete. Mbappé’s strength is his ball speed.
“ It’s difficult to have this quality, said the eight-time Olympic champion. People may think it’s easy. But he has a special talent. Mbappé is very fast. Very quick with the ball. » Compliments which should not leave Kylian Mbappé indifferent. As a reminder, Usain Bolt attempted a football career by playing for the Central Coast Mariners, an Australian club.
