A coach in South America sends a message to Kylian Mbappe
Kylian Mbappe
Kylian Mbappe is without a doubt one of the most outstanding players today. The 24-year-old French forward decided to stay at PSG for one more season, despite everything indicating that he would sign with Real Madrid. However, the talks between the French team and Kylian ended up resuming to be linked again, for one more season and to discuss a possible contract renewal.
However, while Mbappe continues to analyze his future, the French player continues to echo everything he experienced in the 2022 World Cup, where he had one of the best performances by a footballer. Kylian Mbappe finished with 8 goals in the World Cup and scored 3 of them in the final. However, he was left with the desire to win his second World Cup, losing on penalties against Lionel Messi’s Argentine National Team.
Prior to the World Cup, statements by Mbappe, who claimed that Conmebol lacked a little more rhythm and that the European qualifiers are more complicated, ended up going viral and causing certain tensions, especially in the South American teams. Gustavo Alfaro, the Argentine coach who recently led the Ecuador team, has returned to the scene and has not hesitated to express his point of view in an interview with Youtuber Ezequiel. Alfaro highlighted the altitude in cities like Quito and La Paz, where the lack of oxygen can significantly affect the performance of visiting players.
What did Gustavo Alfaro say to Kylian Mbappe?
In a passionate response to Mbappé’s claims, Alfaro began by listing some of the unique challenges facing South American teams. “Guardiola may have his opinion, Mourinho may have another, but I would tell Mbappé to come and play here,” exclaimed the experienced Argentine coach. Alfaro contrasted the situation in Europe, where according to him, facing one or two high-level teams can practically guarantee a ticket to the World Cup.
