Revenge is a dish best served cold. While Kylian Mbappé continues to make the news, it’s for a whole different reason this time around. As a reminder, the PSG player had made remarks considered controversial in South America last December on TNT Sports. “The advantage we have, the Europeans, is that we always play among ourselves and we have high-level matches all the time, like in the League of Nations, then estimated the Parisian striker. When we arrive at the World Cup, we are ready, where Brazil and Argentina do not have this level. In South America, football is not as advanced as in Europe. That’s why the last World Cups, if you look, it’s always the Europeans who win., had notably declared the French striker. And it was José Luis Chilavert who wanted to answer him with a little spade for his attention.
Indeed, the emblematic Paraguayan goalkeeper, renowned for his famous free kicks and passed through Strasbourg at the dawn of the 2000s, returned to the statements of Kylian Mbappé while recalling that he was not so hard to stop. “Look at what Mbappé said, that South America does not play good football or that there is not a good level. I would like to see him running at altitude in La Paz or Quito, or playing outside in Brazil. Here he would be an average player, he is predictable. It’s obvious he has an advantage with his speed, but with a defender blowing his neck, we can control him calmly.” wanted to put José Luis Chilavert into perspective. It remains to be seen whether the French striker will also take the trouble to answer him.
