Football is a game that often surprises us with its talents, and today, a name is rising to the top, making us remember the legends of the past. Kylian Mbappé, one of the most popular players of the moment, is showing that he could be the successor to Cristiano Ronaldo. How did this happen? What makes him so special?
Álvaro Arbeloa, a former Real Madrid player, expressed his satisfaction after the team’s victory at the Mestalla. He admitted that the match was not great, but stressed that the team is on the right track. “Three victories in the last 11 years here, I came as a player and I know how difficult it is. We won thanks to solidity and dedication,” he said.
Arbeloa also commented on the performance of several players, mentioning Fede Valverde, who, according to him, is happiest in midfield. “David played very well, it’s great news for the academy,” he added, praising the work of the team and the young players who are contributing to the team’s success.
Another important issue was the return of Trent Alexander-Arnold, who after a long period on the sidelines will be carefully managed. Arbeloa expressed confidence that Carvajal is showing his form in training, highlighting his importance as a leader in the dressing room.
Arbeloa compared the atmosphere at the Mestalla to a visit to the dentist, noting that Courtois had no expectations thanks to the solid team work. It shows how a strong team can minimize risk and secure a deserved victory.
Mbappé, a name that is becoming increasingly well-known, is a player who is resembling Ronaldo in many ways. Arbeloa said: “We are at a loss for words. We thought we would never see Cristiano Ronaldo again, but Mbappé is on that path.” This is a great assessment for a young player.
What makes Mbappé so special? Is it his speed, technique, or goal-scoring ability? All of these aspects make him one of the most sought-after players in the world. He has managed to combine his talent with a strong work ethic, making him a role model for many young players.
Over time, Mbappé has shown that he is able to withstand pressure and perform at high levels. Will he become one of the legends of football like Cristiano Ronaldo? Time will tell, but for now, he is writing his own history on the pitch.
