Abreu responds to Mbappé’s insult: “He missed Wikipedia”

Mbappé goes from mess to mess. After his surprise renewal with PSG, the PSG striker gave an interview to TNT Brasil in which he spoke about the World Cup in Qatar and his words have not gone unnoticed. It is not for less, given that he assured that European teams “always play games of a high level, we have the Nations League and when we get to the World Cup we are ready. In South America, football is not as advanced as in Europe. And that is why when you look the last World Cups are always the Europeans who win”.

Loco Abreu, the new coach of the Uruguayan Paysandú FC, was one of the first to respond and made it clear that he did not share his opinion at all. “The Europeans win by the number of Europeans who go to the World Cup. You have to see the groups they have to qualify. The quality of the rivals. “How many titles does France have, and how many European Championships, fifteen not? Uruguay has two World Cups and fifteen Copas América. Mbappé lacked Wikipedia. Just because they play with Europeans doesn’t mean that those Europeans are top-level…”, Abreu added with annoyance, in defense of the South American teams.”

Brazilian Fabinho also responded during Liverpool’s media day prior to the Champions League final against Real Madrid. “”It’s different, it’s not easy. We have to travel 11 or 12 hours to play in South America. We have to play in places like Bolivia, I don’t know if France has ever played there. Also in Uruguay or Chile, places that one is not used to. I think that if Brazil and Argentina played in Europe, they would qualify first in the group in Europe. In addition, they go to the World Cup as one of the favourites,” said the midfielder.
