L'Equipe: Mbappe's priority is not to be World Cup top scorer

personal goals always add to Team goals, the big prize is for him to win his second world cup,then he can think of the 3rd,breaking all the world cups records along the way

Olise missed several chances served to him by Mbappé—otherwise, Mbappé’s stats would look even better.

This is why Dembele was given the opportunity to score two last time

he is afraid of the pressure on him

You're only saying that in case you don't end up as the tournament's leading scorer. Deep down, though, that's exactly what you want.

then he mustn't take penalties 🙄

If he truly leads France to win the World Cup, the Ballon d’Or will undoubtedly go to Mbappé. Votes are cast by people, and with France winning the World Cup, all the spotlight falls on Mbappé—top scorer titles, countless accolades; voters would find it nearly impossible not to vote for him. There’s no doubt about it.

Honestly, just interpret everything Mbappé explicitly states in the opposite way.

Come on! Come on! Come on!

Mbappé is somewhat reminiscent of Ronaldo Nazário—bursting onto the scene at the peak of his powers (his physical explosiveness and speed are simply overwhelming). He plays for a strong national team, surrounded by elite teammates who shoulder much of the burden, allowing him to focus almost exclusively on intelligent movement and clinical finishing. With perfect timing, ideal circumstances, and exceptional support, he’s destined to become the all-time top scorer in World Cup history. Yet his limitations must also be acknowledged: at 27, he has yet to win a Ballon d’Or; his performances at the European Championship have been underwhelming; and his Champions League record—especially when compared to his stints at Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid—is conspicuously unimpressive. This reflects his relatively one-dimensional playing style: thriving mainly against weaker opponents, relying heavily on team support to pad his stats, contributing little defensively, and lacking the all-around creativity and playmaking vision of a true number 10. While he does possess decent football intelligence and can link up effectively in combination play, he cannot single-handedly carry a team or function as a true leader—merely a formidable, high-impact striker.

No doubt about it—Zlatan is evolving from a top scorer into a team leader; next up, he’ll conquer the world as a true general.

You didn’t win the World Cup 🏆, nor the Ballon d’Or.

Mbappé stated that winning the World Cup trophy and taming Ballon d’Or winner Benzema within the national team is the top priority for this World Cup.

Champions! [姆巴佩笑]

Argentina Norway England are the toughest opponents of France. I still believe that France needs more intensity in the mid field.
