Kylian Mbappe proving that he has no sense of stage fright while competing world Cup.
The World Cup is the biggest competition in world football. It’s no wonder that sometimes a number of elite players at club level fail to show their best skills at the World Cup.
Even players of the level of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have repeatedly received criticism for their performances at the World Cup.
Messi and Ronaldo were judged unable to bring out the best level of themselves as they appeared multiple times at the World Cup. The level of sharpness of Messi and Ronaldo has also decreased compared to the level of the club, although both have scored 9 and 8 goals at the World Cup.
Messi and Ronaldo also failed to score in the knockout stages of the World Cup. Messi just broke this bad tradition in yesterday’s match against Australia, while Ronaldo was unable to.
However, Mbappe’s symptoms are different. He has appeared in two editions of the World Cup and on both occasions Mbappé has always shone.
Mbappé successfully scored four goals in his 2018 World Cup debut. Mbappé also successfully led France to win the 2018 World Cup.
Four years later, even Mbappe, who has matured and excelled at club level, has not felt the immense pressure and stage fright. Mbappe seems to be having a lot of fun playing in the 2022 World Cup.
As a result, Mbappe scored five goals at the 2022 World Cup. This number surpassed Mbappe’s record for goals in the previous edition,
Mbappe’s opportunity to continue adding goals comes in the next duel when France meet England in the quarter-final match of the 2022 World Cup.
