For Mbappe, what is more desperate than the decline in state is that the next three or four years will be invisible and reversible

Think about it now, in the 2022 World Cup final, Mbappe calmly scored three penalty kicks and scored a side slept shot that was enough to be recorded in history, dragging the suspense to the end to the end. This is his peak career performance so far. Yes, in terms of results, of course, it is even better to win the 2018 World Cup; but the problem is that Mbappe was just a young player at that time, but in 2022, Mbappe was already the top player in the team, and it was also the main output of the French team. Therefore, from the perspective of personal performance alone, Mbappe in the 2022 World Cup final is even more awesome.

But in the past three years, Mbappe has not seemed to have made much progress, and as he grows older, his impact seems to have also declined. Moreover, Mbappe rarely participates in defense, both in Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid, which was the treatment that Mero had only received back then. Mbappe's output and personal ability are obviously not as good as the peak of Mero. At present, Mbappe's breakthrough ability has declined and his running ability has declined. The only one at the top level may be the shooting accuracy.

To be honest, Real Madrid bought Mbappe too late. Of course, this is not Real Madrid's fault. After all, Real Madrid has been chasing Mbappe for several years, and it is Mbappe who has been going back on his word. As a result, both sides rushed outdated in both directions at the wrong time. Now Mbappe is only the number one in the world football world in name, and behind him are the younger Haaland, Bear, Bellingham, and Yamal. And Dembele, one year older than him, now seems to be no longer inferior to him.

From this point of view, it is only a matter of time before Mbappe's football status declines. At the same time, his decline in his condition is also visible to the naked eye. A European Golden Boot Award is really a bit of a scratchy feeling, and it’s not useful. In the Club World Cup, Mbappe was even replaced by the younger Gonzalo Garcia. Who made him flock to the point of critical moments?

However, for Mbappe, what is even more desperate is not the decline in his condition, but the fact that when the physical function further declines in the next three or four years, when it is necessary to transform, he suddenly found that it is invisible and can be transformed.

Let's take Ronaldo as an example. Ronaldo debuted as a full-time forward, so he can be considered a winger. Later, Ferguson developed his scoring ability to bring him closer to the goal. When it comes to Real Madrid, Zidane gradually turned him into a center and a top goal scoring machine. From a data perspective, Ronaldo is considered the number one center in football history.

In fact, when he first debuted, who would have thought that Ronaldo would become a top superstar in the future? At that time, he was impatient and could only ride a bicycle to play tricks, slowing down the team's offensive rhythm. But one top coach after another gave him a clear position when he needed to transform and developed his potential. So Ronaldo successfully transformed under the circumstances that many people could not imagine. Of course, this is also due to his perverted self-discipline and strong enterprising spirit.

So, what about Mbappe? In fact, from a certain perspective, Mbappe's playing style is more physical. When he was in Monaco, Mbappe reminded people of Ronaldo. The impact force, breakthrough ability, and the delicate treatment of small balls in the penalty area are all the ancient predecessors in diameter. However, this kind of kicking will sooner or later decline as the physical function decreases. If a winger loses speed and breakthrough, then what output does he get?

Of course, Mbappe can also play as a center, but the problem is that he does not have the height of Ronaldo and the top air superiority. Heading is never Mbappe's advantage, and it is even a capability that he has always lacked. I hope he can develop this skill in the future, at least I can't see any possibility at the moment.

So, Mbappe is indeed very embarrassed now, and his condition may be just a temporary decline, so this can be adjusted back. But in the next three or four years, I really can't see where Mbappe's transformation path is. Is it like Grezman, who retreated to the organization? It's not clear that he has this trend.

By the way, in the 2026 World Cup, Mbappe can reach his historical individual goal record. At present, he is only 5 goals away from breaking Klose's 16-goal record. But the hidden despair of this incident is that if Mbappe does, then it is likely to be the highest point of his career.
