Mbappé studies for Ronaldo

After a difficult period, Kylian Mbappé has regained the smile in the PSG. The French international has found its place in Mauricio Pochettino's schemes and he has returned to playing in a position where he became one of the biggest promises in European football at Monaco.

The beginnings of Mbappé with the Santa Fe coach were on the left wing, a position in which he was anchored and that did not allow him to maximize his start and power to space. The former Tottenham coach decided to place him center forward on Friday in a 4-4-2 in which his breaks into space and his speed were decisive to contribute two goals and one assist in PSG's 4-0 win against Montpellier.

Mbappé, who has received strong criticism for his latest performances, seems to have recovered his best level as a center forward. While Icardi sets the centrals, Bondy's attack the spaces and take advantage of the quality of Neymar and Di María in the last pass to feed on their passes. In addition, his great definition and his speed to uncheck allow Pochettino to have a player who can decide games against rivals that fall back against PSG.

His transformation as a player, going from being an elastic and agile forward to a very powerful player in the snatch and with great ease to dribble players while driving, make him remember Ronaldo Nazario saving distances. The Brazilian was a player with power in the unstoppable start, something similar to Mbappé, although the French has less command of the technique in tight spaces.
