Kylian once again suffered a low blow after his derogatory words for football on this continent.
While choosing his new team, the lesson Messi teaches Mbappe and surprises the whole world
Kylian Mbappé remains a slave to his words ahead of the Qatar 2022 World Cup. The France captain provoked the entire South American continent last year by saying that, unlike the European teams, Brazil and Argentina had no level matches to prepare for the World Cup because football in this part of the world “is not advanced”. However, FIFA has just given PSG a low blow.
In case the triumph of the Albiceleste, commanded by Lionel Messi, had not been a sufficient reality check for Mbappé. Now, the highest soccer body humiliated Donatello again by publishing the updated FIFA ranking of teams. How could it be otherwise, Argentina is at the top, followed by France and Brazil completes the podium.
That is to say, two of the three best countries are from South America, a continent that, according to Kylian, does not have developed football. As if that were not enough, the last U-20 World Cup champion was Uruguay and the U-17 champion was Brazil. A reality that makes even more evident the words that Mbappé released at the time.
Mbappé’s complete statement against South American football
When he was asked about the World Cup candidates, the ‘7’ expressed: “The advantage we have here is that we always play high-level matches, we have the Nations League for example. When we get to the World Cup, we’ll be ready. Argentina and Brazil do not play matches of a high level to reach the World Cup. In South America, soccer is not as advanced as in Europe.”
