Ibrahimovic advises Mbappe to be brave to walk on fire
By db-admin
DBasia.news – No one ever doubted the quality of the 22-year-old French striker, Kylian Mbappe. Many predict that the PSG (Paris Saint-Germain) striker will one day win the Ballon d’Or.
Mbappe, along with Erling Haaland, are predicted to replace Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi’s rivalry to become the world’s best player. Both have great talent and long careers.
Mbappe has won three Ligue 1 titles, a World Cup and the UEFA Nations League with PSG and the French national team, but he is not yet fully in the category of players who left his legacy in Europe.
Without compromising respect for competition in Ligue 1, Mbappe has yet to prove anything in Europe’s top leagues. That is the reason the former PSG striker who is now defending AC Milan, Zlatan Ibrahimovic gave his advice.
The 40-year-old striker has had a career in Europe from Juventus, Inter Milan, Barcelona, Milan (two periods), PSG, to Manchester United. Ibra advised Mbappe to leave his comfort zone.
“I love him but what he does is still not enough,” Ibrahimovic told Telefoot.
“He can be great if he learns to hurt himself. He needs to taste blood, walk on fire. Surround yourself with people who say you’re not good enough and you’ll get better.”
Ibra did not contain his admiration for Mbappe, placing him in one of the top 10 players in Europe according to Ibrahimovic.
“Kylian Mbappe is in my top 10. There are players who have been at the top for a long time but for young players, there is (Erling) Haaland and who else, there is Ibrahimovic, no need to talk about anything else!” added Ibrahimovic.
Mbappe has recently been rumored to be heading to Real Madrid, as until now there has been no positive news from his contract which expires at the end of the 2021-2022 season.
