Nicolas Anelka was in Tourcoing on Saturday at the Van de Veegaete stadium. The former French international striker came to launch his specialized academy for attackers, in partnership with Union Sportive Tourquennoise. The name of this new structure: NA39. On this occasion, thirty-six youngsters from 13 to 16 years old were present, for sessions on offensive positioning, technique and tactics.
The former Paris Saint-Germain cracker took the opportunity to answer a few questions. In particular, he was asked what was, for him, the current model of the typical striker. “I’m going to say Mbappé,” he replied, at RMC Sport’s microphone.
“The qualities required to be a future Golden Ball”
“He’s very fast, very smart, very technical, he continued. He has the qualities to do great things. He has already proven it time and time again and he shows it in every game.”
“Neymar is very strong too. There are the oldest who are known and recognized, like Messi and Ronaldo. But for me, in any case, it is Mbappé who is really the image of the prototype of the attacking with all the qualities required to be a future Golden Ball, “concluded Nicolas Anelka.
