Kylian Mbappé struck a new (big) blow on Sunday during the reception of Las Palmas on behalf of the 20e
La Liga day. A double scorer and close to a hat-trick, the former Parisian also impressed with his availability in the game and his activity. “He's the best center forward in the world, we wondered if he could play in this position or rather on the left,” Carlo Ancelotti did not hesitate to say at the end of the meeting. He is a great striker, he is very good in the center, more than on the wing, he is a unique striker and he can get the most out of it in the center. »
Kylian Mbappé's return to form has obviously not gone unnoticed. Present on the set of L'Equipe du Soir, Sébastien Tarrago was also amazed by the performance of the French world champion. “I hadn't seen him like that for two or three years, easy. And this is confirmed throughout the matches. Against Las Palma, he had a great match because he scored two goals, but he was not extraordinary throughout the match, but in his catches… And above all, he never stopped asking for the ball in depth, which he no longer did at all”he confided.
“I wasn’t worried, I was very worried”
“And that means that he found his legs, that he found his punch, that he found his confidence. I didn't think he would come back so quickly. I hope for him that it will last, and for the French team potentially,” he continued, admitting to having been worried about the Bondynois: “I'm surprised he came back so quickly.” I was starting to be worried about him, really. And as soon as our colleagues at Canal+ spoke out and the case in Sweden was closed, he came back strong and I think he is relieved. »
An opinion shared by his friend Giovanni Castaldi. “On the second goal, which is not easy to score, we see that mentally, he is much better. And I wasn't worried, I was very worried, he added. From what we saw from Mbappé, I didn't think he was going to come back so strong, so quickly. »
“What worried me enormously in his less good period, particularly at PSG, was the total absence of play without the ball. He only started moving when he received the ball, he continued. Now, since he is better and has been released, the number of things he offers and does without the ball is fantastic. And that changes everything when he starts to be mobile again, to be constantly on the move. »
