was working really hard by himself to improve. But it’s also knowing how to use it.

“To dribble at the right time, to cross for your team-mates at the right time, to run into the box with the ball at the right time. Being able to score important goals on the big stage.

“During the past 10 to 15 years there has been a lot of statistics in football. There’s a lot of information out there. There are thousands of videos of Thierry in action. So, Mbappe can watch that, understand the movement and work out why Thierry was scoring so many goals.

“That’s what we see in his game. He seems to be aware of all of that movement and how there was such a big difference between Thierry and a lot of other different strikers.

“To me, it looks like he has been watching Thierry. He is that similar. When you look at the two styles, Thierry might have been n even faster. But Mbappe knows when to go into the penalty box and that is the amazing thing. He knows when to go into the box. He can dribble ble and be deadly. It took me 10 years to understand it.

“Yes, I had to goo to the near post. But it wasn’t natural for me like it was for Ruud van Nistelrooytelrooy or David Trezeguet.

“Neymar may have been a winger in Brazil and when n he turned up at Barcelona all of a sudden he started to drift inside and started tarted to score more. It’s something you u have to learn.

“Mbappe is doing gallall this already. And he’s still only 18.”
