Kylian Mbappe is a player who favors speed as well as an explosive playing style, which makes fans think of the world’s best players like Thierry Henry or Cristiano Ronaldo. However, for Arsene Wenger, the striker born in 1998 has a playing style more similar to football king Pele.
“Some people say I’m crazy when I compare Mbappe to Pele, but that’s something I don’t need to think about, he has great potential to do that.” – Arsene Wenger spoke on PSG Talk.
Arsene Wenger’s opinion is not entirely based on Mbappe’s playing style, but also partly from winning the 2018 World Cup at the age of 20, this achievement is also equal to that of football king Pele himself when he was with the Brazilian team. champion at the 1958 World Cup.
Even what Mbappe can do at this time is enough to help this player be considered one of the great players until he retires. However, there is still much ahead because Mbappe has many other milestones to conquer to do that.
Although compared to many other seniors, Mbappe himself also has idol players, but the 24-year-old still has his own playing style. Besides his dribbling ability and wind-breaking speed, his shots into the near corner to beat goalkeepers are the “tricks” that make players born in 1998 different.
In the immediate future, Mbappe will need to help PSG pass the Champions League group stage. This is one of the peaks that the 24-year-old has been searching for in recent seasons.
