MOSCOW – At this point, we 7 billion residents of the Earth should really perfect a skill to which we are desperately, tirelessly shabby. We should practice – let's not laugh – moderation as we contemplate the amazing future of Kylian Mbappe, who is still five months younger than 20 years old.
We must refrain from comparing French to Pele or Brazilian Ronaldo. We must let him breathe his own life and try to avoid statements such as the thunder above the Luzhniki stadium on Sunday night seemed to emanate from his race.
Yes, there is no hope.
What we can say with caution is that Mbappe will make temporary modifications to breathing patterns in stadiums around the world. Perhaps he will do it for his current employer, Paris Saint-Germain, perhaps for others, and for the French national team, but the rumors circulating at the 21st Coupe du world will multiply for a coming decade Mbappe.
Is this right? The ball will go to Mbappe, or Mbappe to the ball, and the sound will change. Its futuristic speed and cartoonish control will cause mbadive inhalation or mbad panting or mbad murmur. Human beings can do nothing about it.
It was Sunday night when France supreme beat the admirable Croatia, 4-2, to win the World Cup title. Even on a ground strewn with a formidable talent, with a constellation on the French side, the idea of Mbappe brought an incomparable additional reaction among the 78 011, as it was the case in the round of 16 in Kazan when he appeared at 10 feet He was high with three Argentine defenders who were dragging him desperately, or in the semi-finals in St. Petersburg while he was serving as a presence, if not as a man from match, against Belgium.

The sight of it stirs souls who watch this art – and possibly even probably who does not do not do it. Even when it does not lead to anything, it always makes you think of something.
It made sense that Mbappe account in the World Cup Championship match where he had re-entered, even though football intellectuals already knew him. his professional debut for Monaco in 2015 at the age of 16 years, 347 days. Sunday's match is held at 2-1 to France at half-time and both as exceptionally theatrical but also looking for some credibility. It was based on a Croatian foul and on a Croatian handball called for video replay that could have been discussed in the 22nd century depending on life expectancy. He needed something to consolidate France's feat as a reliable force for this woolly world cup.
Then there was a lot of Mbappe, which meant it was exciting, although we had to be careful with these overall badessments. In the 59th minute, midfielder Paul Pogba sent one of those balls that you can not believe anybody could send from behind the midfield all the way to the right. He found his way to the child prodigy. The crowd has moved. Mbappe worked in the upper right of the box. The defense must take this into account, because the defenses of the whole planet will pbad the years to come, but we must be careful with such general badessments.
Mbappe met masterful Antoine Griezmann, who brought the ball back to Pogba at the top of the penalty area, so Pogba could try a shot from the right foot, block it and try a left-hand grip that twirls on the left edge of the goal.
France led 3-1, but for another statement of quality six minutes later, defender Lucas Hernandez muscled through some defenders on the left side, then crossed to Mbappe waiting in the middle of the box. When Mbappe sent a ball just slightly and counter-intuitively to the left and in the goal, then ran to the left side, jumped and landed with his arms crossed, he really seemed to have a considerable share of the world at 19.
Although we must really be careful with such global badessments.

Soon, he would send two kisses on his head to French President Emmanuel Macron, one for winning the prize awarded to the best young player in the tournament, and another in the medal procession. Soon, he will tweet a photo of himself photogenic as always, kissing the trophy at 19 with the capitalized words "MY LOVE", in English which is, after all, the international business language. 19659016] Soon, even the cautious among us could safely refer to Pele, since since 1958 Pele had been the only teenager to score in a World Cup final, and because Pele had tweeted at 77, @ KMbappe – It's great to have company, "and," If Kylian continues to match my records I may have to dust off my boots. "
Soon, the French manager Didier Deschamps will warn: Kylian Mbappe, for example, is only 19 years old and I hope that he will win the World Cup again." already done so much, but you never know. "
Perhaps France could have won this crisper World Cup without Mbappe. Granted, Griezmann, Pogba and Olivier Giroud all shine, and defensemen such as Samuel Umtiti and Raphael Varane helped make a team as strong as talkative.
Clearly, he had the necessary fellowship, which seemed even clearer when Griezmann said: together from the beginning. The substitutes were not in a mood. They were never annoyed. They worked for the collective. It seemed even clearer when a group of French players entered Deschamps' press conference, dancing and singing a song touting their manager and spraying water and champagne, to remind them that , Mbappe provided something else, something else from another area of talent, something that the world might not have seen because it is its own player, even if Deschamps has already had to warn people. who asks questions by comparing him, for example, to Ronaldo.
The man who is not yet 20 has arrived as categorically as anyone, and it seems clear that people all over the world will know his childhood in the often forgotten Paris. Bondy's suburbs, his athletic parents who played football (father) and handball (mother), his lineage Cameroonian and Algerian, his role in the idealistic diversity of the team, of which Griezmann said: "It is the France we love, that's all, there are different origins but we are all united, it's the same thing in our team. "
" He loves football ", said Deschamps about Mbappe at this World Cup. He called the 19-year-old man "a smart man" with a good fortress of mind. All this should help once the rest of us can not help us.
