Mbappé executes Poland, adds five goals and becomes the referential player of the World Cup

• Direct This is how we live it

Mbappé

is the differential footballer.

has an offensive range comparable to that of

or

.

But involved in the World Cup, you really need footballers capable of dominating the winning moments.

striker

is one of those.

As a predatory cat, he expends as little energy as possible while his selection is in the works.

Defense is not up to you.

Let

, who runs even more than necessary and does not always decide what is best for his team.

This time, at least, it was easy: Mbappé was advancing on the other side of the wasteland left by Polish despair.

The shot on the goal was dry, hard, direct.

The next one made it better.

The sentence for a

who, like others of his generation, handed over the baton of command in Qatar to the next generation, the Mbappé generation.

Whether or not the Frenchman can also name an era, as

and

did , still in the tournament, it is too early to tell.

The outcome in Qatar will say something about it.

For now, he is already in the quarterfinals, after the victory at the Al-Thumama Stadium.

In Russia, where he was champion, Mbappé gave himself up to other tasks, looking for his place.

Now he has it, feels it and exercises it, as a scorer, with five goals in the World Cup in three games and 27 minutes against Tunisia, and as an assistant for Giroud.

HEAVY CHANGE OF RHYTHM

The PSG player is looking for man to man against a wall, with an unbearable change of pace for anyone.

Up to 35 kilometers per hour he is capable of running with the ball, like a 'sprinter'.

That is within the reach of very few, but there are fast footballers without more.

In the case of Mbappé, the hitting is added to his career not only for the shot, but for the center, tense, precise.

The problem is that his accelerations are not only fast for his rivals, but also for his teammates.

No one came for the first two.

Not Dembele.

France lacked more footballers who made risky decisions in attack, too patient, horizontal.

When that happens, the game thickens, which is what suited Poland.

The distance between the two teams only equalized when the ball reached Lewandowski, who in the field gives more instructions to his team than the coach.

' team

needed to value the versatility of their attack, look for leaks, shots, alternatives to Mbappé's starts.

Instead, it was the PSG player himself who gave the first winning inside pass.

He found the corridor in the Polish forest for

, who acted like the striker who knows where the goal is at all times.

The trade and the spatial perception allow him not to need to look at her.

He crossed into the impossible spot for

.

With the goal, Giroud definitely surpasses

as the national team's top scorer, with 52 goals.

He still wonders what the Venezuelan referee pointed out to not count the goal that the 'Chilean' scored and did not go up on the scoreboard because the Polish goalkeeper found himself on the ground, in pain, after a bad clearance and a worse fall.

It was a timely fall.

THE PARABLE OF THE GOAL

The advantage did not cause a great change in Poland, for which the opportunity was to play a long game, and the slight disadvantage allowed it.

Another thing, at least at the start of the second half, was suicide against the French 'thoroughbred'.

When he had no other choice, he died that way.

First Mbappé was the last vertex of the counter started by

.

Afterwards, he received in the corner of the box, from where he drew a parable to the top corner.

Hitting like that and with such precision is worth millions.

They are many millions.

Poland had had its chance.

In fact, a double chance originated from a mistake by

that the French goalkeeper saved, point-blank, against

.

The return saved him on the Varane line.

For the Poles it had been like seeing the treasure without being able to open the chest.

That happens rarely.

When Lewandowski stood at the penalty spot, twice, he was already thinking about the bags.
