Despite the comparisons of talent and class set by the fans, it seems that there is no animosity between Haaland and Mbappe.
The debate over who is the best of the ‘new generation’ between Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland has been a topic of discussion among football enthusiasts and analysts for a long time.
This pair of rivals has continuously shined and broken many world football records in just the last few years. Many people think that after Messi and Ronaldo, Haaland and Mbappe will be the new counterbalance that makes world football wobble.
Not only praised for his talent, as well as Messi and Ronaldo, between Haaland and Mbappe there seems to be no animosity but also a lot of respect for each other. In a recent interview with RMC Sports, Man City’s No. 9 expressed admiration for Mbappe, even wanting to join the front line with the French international.
“There are a lot of good players and Kylian is one of them. He is extremely strong! France is lucky to have him in the squad. Of course I want him to play for Norway, but that’s not possible. But yes, Mbappe is a phenomenal player.” Haaland talks about Mbappe.
In the past, the two had the opportunity to face each other in the Champions League when Haaland was still at Dortmund. Up to now, the impression on his colleagues in the Norwegian striker is still so deep that he does not regret praising the 2018 World Cup champion.
“He’s very fast, very strong and has been at the top for years. Is he human? Kylian is only two years older than me? It’s crazy! He still has 10 years of top-flight ahead of him. . is simply extraordinary.”
Haaland’s comments seem to have erased stereotypes about the rivalry between him and Mbappe. Similar to Messi and Ronaldo, both push each other forward for the sake of victory.
As for the desire to be on the same team with Mbappe, that prospect is unlikely but not impossible. Possibly at Man City, where the Arab owners have no shortage of money while coach Pep Guardiola is said to admire the French striker.
In another perspective, Haaland and Mbappe could be teammates at the great Real Madrid team, the 24-year-old striker’s dream club and is also said to be pursuing Man City’s No. 9 to replace Benzema in the future. .
