Kylian Mbappé wants to be the center of attention in the final game between France and Croatia in the World Cup Russia 2018. The forward has shone on his own to the point of being compared to Ronaldo Nazario and being a candidate to replace Cristiano Ronaldo.
In statements to 'L'Equipe', Gary Lineker, a World Cup player with the England National Team, has been impressed with the performance of the 19-year-old forward during the World Cup with the French team.
"He is a future monster of the game. He has an incredible maturity and he is one of the best young players I have seen in my life. His speed, technique, charm, and ability to play the right ball at the right time are incredible," he said.
"He has everything to become the next Cristiano Ronaldo," added Lineker, who projects a great future for Kylian Mbappé, who could end up as the tournament's best player, after the France vs. Croatia match.
Finally, the Englishman saw characteristics of the "Fenomeno" in the French player. "Look, in fact, he reminds me of the Brazilian Ronaldo. He has the same power, explosiveness, speed, brilliance, and everything is done at an incredible pace that gives the impression that everything is very easy. He seems unaffected by the pressure," he concluded.
