"Child of the Wind" Claudio. Caniggia was Maradona's teammate in the Argentine national team, and the two played side by side, attacking cities again and again to win glory for Argentina. For Canigia, Maradona often gave him a thumbs up and praised him for running fast. At the 2018 World Cup in Russia, a black French guy easily passed the scene of four Argentine players, which made Maradona, who had seen the big scene, almost drop his jaw, and he bluntly said that this guy ran faster than Kanigia, the "child of the wind".
The black guy who made a generation of football king Maradona almost drop his jaw was called Killian. Mbappe. He is a striker in the French national team. Mbappe's father is a football coach, his mother is a handball player, and his older brother, who is 10 years older than him, is also a professional football player. Born into such a sporting family, what a blessing it is for the talented Mbappe!
Mbappé was born on December 20, 1998. He was 16 years younger than Kaka (22 April 1982), 22 years younger than Da Luo (18 September 1976), 11 years younger than Messi (24 June 1987), 6 years younger than Neymar (5 February 1992) and 58 years younger than Pele (23 October 1940). Kaka, Da Ro, Pele and others are Mbappe's football seniors. Guoan Feng Ba Zhang Yuning (January 5, 1997) is 1 year older than Mbappe, Luneng Taishan center Guo Tianyu (March 5, 1999) is 1 year younger than Mbappe, and Wei Shihao is 3 years older than Mbappe. The above-mentioned young talents in domestic football are the same age as Mbappe, but how can their influence in world football be the same as Mbappe?
Mbappe's ability to stand out in the competitive World Cup has a lot to do with his father's dedication to his development. Since Mbappe's father was a coach of a football club, he was introduced to football when Mbappe was 4 years old. Mbappe's father is a strict man who teaches his son to get the ball up, stop the ball, flip the ball, dribble and run with the ball. Whenever his son wanted to be lazy in training, he always shouted at his son. Under the guidance of his father, Mbappe's skills have greatly improved, and his basic skills are very solid. When Mbappe was older, his father let his son play on the team he coached. Under the careful care of his father, Mbappe's football road has gone smoothly. When Mbappé was 11 years old, his father let him join the youth academy of Clerfontaine in France, where he received systematic football training.
Clerfontaine's Academy is located in a small town on the outskirts of Paris, where there are no shops and no other public facilities, as if it were a paradise. This academy has very complete hardware facilities. From this youth academy came out of the French king Zidane, as well as Henry, Anelka, Gala, Pire, Kupe and other French stars also graduated from the youth academy. Mbappe's father knew that his younger son was talented, and his younger son loved football, so he decided to send Mbappe to the Clerfontaine Academy, the mecca of French football, so that his younger son could further his studies there.
After graduating from Clerfontaine's academy, Mbappe joined Ligue 1 powerhouse Monaco Juniors. Mbappe made his mark in the football club's youth team, scoring one goal for the team while playing in the European Youth League. Mbappe scored his first Ligue 1 goal on 2 December 2015, at the age of 16 years and 347 days. The record for youngest goal scored in a professional Chinese football league was set by Huang Bowen in 2004. On May 26, 2004, Beijing Guoan player Huang Bowen, who was only 16 years and 317 days old, scored the first goal of his career against Shenyang Jinde , setting a record for the youngest goal in the Chinese professional football league. From this record, Huang Bowen is more powerful than Mbappe, but Huang Bowen is not as lucky as Mbappe, after all, people have scored in the World Cup.
Since Mbappe scored his first goal in Ligue 1 on 2 December 2015, his good fortune has followed. In the 2016–2017 season he made 29 appearances for Monaco, scoring 15 goals and providing 11 assists for his teammates; In this season's Champions League appearance, he made nine appearances for the team and scored six goals. This season, Mbappe's performance in Monaco was impeccable, so perfect that even the always picky manager was completely conquered by Mbappe. Yes, this year, he helped the team win the Ligue 1 title, and he was personally awarded the Ligue 1 Rookie of the Year title of the season.
With Kylian Mbappe performing too well in the 2016-2017 season, Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain have set their sights on Mbappe. After friendly negotiations between the two clubs, Mbappe joined Paris Saint-Germain on 31 August 2017 on a loan-and-buy basis. The transfer fee is said to have reached a staggering €180 million. In order to get the player they want, Kylian Mbappe, the Ligue 1 giants have laid down their blood. After joining the Ligue 1 giants, Mbappe continued to be in excellent form, scoring 13 goals and providing 8 assists for his teammates in 27 appearances in the 2017-2018 season; In this season's Champions League appearance, Mbappe made eight appearances, scoring four goals and providing three assists for his teammates. His season was even better than the previous season. In his first year with Paris Saint-Germain, Mbappe won the "European Golden Boy Award" for his outstanding performance.
The European Golden Boy Award is an award created in 2003 by the Italian newspaper Turin Sport. Young players under the age of 21 who play for European clubs must be selected. The selection team consisted of 20 national media outlets and 30 journalists. Players who have won the European Ballon d'Or include Van der Vaart, Wayne Rooney, Messi, Cesc Fabregas, Sergio Aguero, Balotelli, Mario. Gotze, Pogba and others. Look at this award-winning squad, strong enough, which of these people is not a future football superstar? Mbappe's winner of the 2017 European Golden Boy Award is definitely a testament to his extraordinary ability in football. In fact, in this year, Mbappe was also shortlisted for FIFA World Footballer of the Year. In addition, one day in February 2018, Mbappé was invited by French President Emmanuel Macron to a luncheon. What a privilege it is for a sports athlete!
Mbappe's move to Paris Saint-Germain is a win-win for both the player and the club. Kylian Mbappe is a young player and Paris Saint-Germain is one of Europe's top clubs. In fact, as of March 2022, Mbappe has played a total of 266 club first-team games in his career, scoring 184 goals and providing 82 assists. Kylian Mbappe's goal efficiency was superb, averaging one goal per game. His performance on the pitch has conquered countless fans and made his football peers can't help but praise him. World-class goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon admitted: "Mbappe is very talented and a young man who can play with his brain." Real Madrid defender Ramos lamented: "Mbappe is a player with a lot of potential, he is extremely fast, he has the ability to score no matter who he faces." The praise of his peers in football is not to compliment Mbappe, he has indeed proved his ability with goal after goal, and he deserves the praise of fans and peers.
In football, some stars play amazingly at clubs and score goals, but when it comes to the World Cup, you can't find shooting boots, and you waste the wonderful balls from your teammates again and again. Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney is one such example. Manchester United's soul Rooney played 559 games and scored 253 goals for the team in 13 seasons. During his time at Manchester United, Rooney won 5 Premier League titles, 4 League Cups, 4 Community Shields, 1 FA Cup, 1 Champions League, 1 Club World Cup and 1 Europa League. It can be said that during his time at Manchester United, Rooney relied on his strong body and superb shooting skills to penetrate the door of his opponent again and again and win one competition after another. At Manchester United, Wayne Rooney was very successful. But in the World Cup, Rooney's performance is nothing short of what he did during his time at Manchester United. Rooney participated in three World Cups in 2006, 2010 and 2014. In three World Cups, Wayne Rooney, the main striker, made 11 appearances and scored only one goal. Rooney's performance at the World Cup is difficult to satisfy countless fans who love him.
Mbappe, 13 years younger than Rooney, is as perfect at the World Cup as he did during his time at the Grand Paris Club. In the 2018 World Cup in Russia, Mbappe, who is less than 20 years old, is already a main player in the French national team. In seven games, Mbappe scored four goals and provided one assist for his teammates. Of those four goals, three were crucial. In the quarterfinals, against strong rivals Argentina, Mbappe created a penalty and scored two more goals himself, it can be said that he single-handedly helped France reach the last eight of the World Cup. In the final, he again scored Croatia's goal with his own ability. World Cup in Russia, Mbappe conquered fans all over the world with his superb skills. His performance in a single World Cup can be compared to Peele, Maradona, Da Luo and other kings.
At the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, the 24-year-old Mbappe is more mature and confident, scoring three goals in the two group games he has played. Against Denmark, he scored twice so that the Danish fairy tale was not staged; Against Australia, he was the icing on the cake and scored 1 goal. It can be said that in this World Cup, Mbappe is still in hot form. How well Mbappe plays is directly related to how far France can go in this World Cup. Had Mbappe not been injured, his World Cup journey would have gone much further. If Mbappe can lead the team to win the World Cup, his influence in world football will surpass Maradona, Messi, Da Luo, and can be compared to the king Pele. If Mbappe can score nine goals in this World Cup and win the top scorer in this cup, he will be in the top three in terms of goals in a single World Cup.
