Antoine Griezmann, giving an interview to "France Football" magazine, said that Kylian Mbappe is a copy of Cristiano Ronaldo.
At the moment, K. Mbappe is considered one of the most promising players on the planet, who could replace Lionel Messi and the same C. Ronaldo in the near future. The player himself has revealed more than once that he grew up idolizing the Portuguese.
"Kylian reminds me of Cristiano, who played for "Manchester United" in his youth," A. Griezmann said during the interview.
"Cristiano was one of those guys who was more obsessed with dribbling than scoring goals in his youth. I have no doubt that Kylian can do the same thing that Cristiano did in Madrid - become a player who scores goals rather than creating chances on the pitch. He can score up to 50 goals." - praised his compatriot the leader of "Atletico".
Asked about K. Mbappe's abilities in the attack, A. Griezmann replied: "When we play in training, Kylian hardly finds himself in that position.
Sometimes I annoy him by asking how he manages to score so many goals without playing in the actual striker position. When we do exercises to check our accuracy in training, he never loses. From the day he changes his playing style, he will become a force to be reckoned with."
