Craig never liked Mbappe anyway, no matter how much he performed. He smears very disingenuous and unfair comments about Mbappe for unclear reasons. He’s been a constant critic of Mbappe, who has accomplished so much since his teenage years, especially in back to back world cup finals. Do you have a hidden agenda Craig? Mbappe is and remains one the most prolific players in the world. Cut him a slack, please.
Once upon a time, being tagged best player in the world actually meant something. These days there are over 10 players being referred to as just that. Mbappe is the reason. He took the meaning out of that expression for the reason Craig pointed out. Desiring to be the best but unwilling to work to deliver what Leo & Cristiano have been delivering since they were you get that him. Well done Craig. Mbappe is simply a fraud for feeling equal to Leo & Cris.
In defense of schoolboys. There were a couple of actual schoolboys on the pitch for Barca and they were absolutely brilliant by any standard.
Spot on Craig.
