Zlatan Ibrahimovic compares Mbappé with Ronaldo Nazário: “His game is very elegant”

Kylian Mbappé (22) and Eerling Haaland (21) are two players who are causing a sensation in Europe for their scoring ability, despite being very young. The former shines at PSG and is tempted by Real Madrid, while the latter shines with Borussia Dortmund, but could sign for Barcelona. When Zlatan Ibrahimovic started his football career, he also stood out as he was one of the best at Ajax and then he was able to sign for Juventus and Inter, two big clubs in Italy.

With his 40 years, the AC Milan forward is still in force in football, however, he recognizes that both the French and the Norwegian are the new promises of the sport. For that reason, during an interview with CBS Sports he spoke about whether he prefers ‘Donatello’ or the ‘Machine’.

“I like elegant players. It is complicated, but when you are a professional footballer you can see others the way they think, the way they move and how they do it. I like those who predict things before they happen ”, the Swedish attacker pointed out.

For Zlatan it was very difficult to decide and first he compared the PSG attacker with a ‘Phenomenon’. “I think Mbappé reminds me a lot of Ronaldo Nazario, his game is very elegant”, he mentioned.

“For his part, he also highlighted the qualities of the Borussia Dortmund striker. When we talk about young footballers. We need to talk about Haaland. It’s good because I think he’s obsessed with goals. And it is not doing more than it needs to do “explained

“There are footballers who think they can do more than they are capable of. In Haaland I see that intelligence. He just wants to score goals, he knows he can do it and he just tries ”, he stressed.
