Kylian Mbappé and Erling Braut Haaland are potential winners of the Ballon d’Or, claims Fabio Capello and Alessandro Costacurta expect ’10 to 15 years of fun,’ according to Sky Sports.
Last night against Seville Dortmund star Haaland followed up with two goals after Paris Saint-Germain forward Mbappé’s hat-trick against Barcelona on Tuesday.
And Costacurta, Alessandro Del Piero, and Capello all decided that in European football, the attacking pair have a fantastic future.’
“In the Champions League, he [Haaland] has scored 18 goals in 13 games and 43 goals in 40 games with Dortmund,” Former Milan defender Costacurta said.
“Last night Mbappé, today Haaland. I think we will have another 10-15 years of fun.”
“Today, he was facing one of the best young defenders in Europe, [Jules] Kounde. He swept him away and that scary. If he wipes out the best prospects…”
“Records are made to be beaten,” Del Piero said. “There is a football that leads to playing more and scoring more.”
“But you have to do it and the numbers of this guy [Haaland] are impressive.”
“They are young and still have a lot to develop, they have a fantastic future, they will be the ones fighting for the Ballon d’Or.”
“In terms of pure quality, Neymar is superior, but the power and speed of Haaland are devastating.”
“Halland, compared to Mbappé, knows how to unmark, he knows how to go deep and asks for a one-two.”
“In this aspect, he has something more, but Mbappé is technically stronger. Halland always makes the right moves to attack the target.”
