He's got a bright future.However some players start off so hot like him and zzzzzzz.

Adriano comes to mind.
Adriano's is an unfortunate story - everything went downhill after he lost his father.

Why are all the guys above me concurring to the post?

Mbape performed better than Cr7 at same age. Go check out their highlight.
Wrong.

Ronaldo and Messi were monsters at 19, running the show among men.
A level mbappe will never match at that age.

well pele should thank his starts that the football world has no great players like the crops of modern defenders

who can send attackers like him to 6-9 months ankle injury holidays talk-less of score goals at will..

As for mbape, time will tell...that was how Wane Rooney ..was hyped and today no where to be found..
I disagree with you. Modern defenders are actually considered timid compared with defenders of Pele's time. Referees are more protective today. In fact Pele arrived injured at his first world cup in 1958, he was also injured during 1962 world cup though self inflicted. World cup 1966 was horrible for him as he was subjected to the most brutal of tackles by the Bulgarian and Portuguese defenders to the extent of announcing that he won't be part of any future world cups, though he later rescinded his decision.

Re: Pele: "Kylian Mbappe Can Become The New Pele!" by maestroferdi: 8:03pm On Jan 15, 2019
Fact-check well...

Brazil won the 1958 World Cup in Sweden.

The assertion that the won the first title in 1962 has to be wrong...

Just saying...
Re: Pele: "Kylian Mbappe Can Become The New Pele!" by Nobody: 8:08pm On Jan 15, 2019
What rubbish are these peeps above saying sef? Mbappe is a very good player and i like his playing style BUT dat wont stop dem from collecting next month. #Ggmu #we-kee-anyone-before-us. (nobody shud quote me)grin

DREAMZZZ:
Mbappe should join barcelona and become the greatest under the mentorship of the great lionel messi
so that he can slow down like Dembele abi

Where is freddy adu the ghanian/usa pele grin
Adu made some wrong sporting decisions. He went abroad from USA to Portugal too young.

A place like Holland with excellent acdaemy system would have been better.

Mbappe won't do such. He's being nurtured at home first. Including going through the same French National Football School at Clairefontaine that Henry, Giroud, Anelka, Diaby, Ben Arfa, Gallas, Matuidi, Saha, etc attended.

He might go to Madrid at the right time.

Country you come from can help your profile.

If kylian mbappe was playing for an African country, getting to the top would not be this fast.
I agree

Just imagine if he was English

I hear that a lot but I can't argue with, not 1 but 3 world cup trophies. Before you say it's Brazil, Brazil had 0 world title until a man called Pele arrived the scene. By 1970 they had 3 world titles still with Pele and they didn't win their next title until 24 years later grin

Pele did not play at the 1962 world cup which BraziL won.

I concur and to add, football those days ain't as competitive as it is now with more stringent rules and tougher players on pitch.
Lol Bro,
It Wasn't Easy Then,
Some People Wouldn't Even Know What It Is To Live In The Archaic Times Where Technology Wasn't Even Know.
Time Flies, Rules Change.
That's Life Bro.

I'm Sure 45Years From Now Peeps Would Be Saying Same About Messi And Ronaldo.

Cheers!
Re: Pele: "Kylian Mbappe Can Become The New Pele!" by fredylee: 8:37pm On Jan 15, 2019
I think Mbappe's aim should be to catch up with the likes of Messi and Ronaldo who already are ranking above Pele, especially Messi.

But how come he was never the best player in all 3 world cups
1958 - Rookie year, youngest ever world cup player at that time. Star performer in the semi-final and final match. Awarded best young player of the tournament and 2nd best player behind Didi.
1962 - Arrived rated as the best player in the world. He was best player & highest goalscorer at the South American championship. Played just two matches in the world cup due to injury but clearly the star of the team. Mane Garrincha stepped up after his injury.
1970 - Best player. Star performer.

For good measure, Tarcisio Burgnich, the defender who marked Pele in the final, said, "I told myself before the game, he's made of skin and bones just like everyone else. But I was wrong." grin

Messi and ronaldo did better than this guy when they were his age abeg

too much sense in ur comment,, it just shows dat Pele hates MESSI for no reason,,, always criticising MESSI,,, n said dat MESSI can't b compared to him,, but mbappe who is nobody compared to MESSI is now likely to b a legend,,, #spitsonhate

It is Brazil vs Argentina thing and also the small matter of race - this is deeper than what you see on the surface. Pele criticising Messi is childsplay compared to the Argies opinion on Pele being the king of football. This issue is bigger than Messi. This became huge with someone who actually won the world cup - Diego Maradona and even to a lesser & unrealistic extent before him, Mario Kempes. Pele is only dishing it back raw grin
