Submit my takeMbappé is one of the greatest players in history, but he isn't a good football player. He is certainly the worst football player among the sport's legends.
Personne ne peut dire que Mbappé n'est pas un grand joueur, sa carrière, surtout en équipe nationale, et ses statistiques parlent pour lui. L'anomalie réside dans l'écart entre ce statut et ses lacunes techniques (passes, contrôle, jeu de tête), collectives (organisation et vision du jeu, positionnement, sacrifices) et physiques (pressing, nombre de kms parcourus, efforts défensifs). En cela, il est sûrement le moins bon footballeur des légendes de ce sport.
There are no great football teams anymore, which is why PSG’s consecutive titles are not a sporting achievement but rather a matter of financial and diplomatic logic.
