The comparison between European and South American football is nothing new. Some say, South American football is indescribably beautiful. However, after seeing the Latin football of this period, someone says again, their football has lost its charm, it remains in the primitive era. French star Kylian Mbappe is in this team.
A few months before the World Cup, Mbappe compared European and South American football and said that South American football was lagging behind. At that time, many Latin footballers protested this statement. After losing to Argentina in the final of the World Cup, Mbappe had to listen to the words again.
Before the World Cup in Qatar, the last time a South American team won the World Cup was in 2002. Then the World Cup football saw the reign of the Europeans. Mbappe turned 24 today.
Naturally, he has seen the rule of Europeans in football. Therefore, compared to European and South American football, he said, 'As much as European football has progressed, South American football has not progressed as much in keeping with the times. That is why only European teams have won the last World Cups.
However, what Mbappe did in the World Cup final, it is certain that he has all the qualifications to fly the flag of European football. The star may not have won the title in the tiebreaker, but the star won the golden boot by scoring 8 goals including a hat-trick in the final.
So, he could not win that title. Chilean midfielder Arturo Vidal took that opportunity. On social media, Vidal, Messi's former teammate at Barcelona, asked Mbappe to learn football from South American football, "Learn football from the Latins, who invented football."
Vidal played 136 matches for Chile. Played in clubs like Bayern Munich, Barcelona. Currently playing in Brazilian club Flamengo.
