If there is a great champion well placed to judge this aspect of Mbappé’s game, it is Usain Bolt. The fastest man in the world has always admired the French star’s technical profile. But he wants to emphasize that we should not reduce him to an athlete. Mbappé’s strength is his ball speed.
“ It’s difficult to have this quality, said the eight-time Olympic champion. People may think it’s easy. But he has a special talent. Mbappé is very fast.
