Jakarta –
Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe are two names of young footballers who are predicted to compete to be the best in the future. Between the two, which one is Gerard Pique’s choice?
If in recent years there has been a rivalry between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi when discussing the title of the world’s best player, the names of Haaland and Mbappe have been predicted to be his successors.
Haaland, who is still 21 years old, continues to steal the limelight with Borussia Dortmund with 85 goals in 87 appearances in his career at the club. No wonder a number of world giant clubs are routinely speculated to be ready to ask for his hand.
Whereas Mbappeaged 23, is strongly suspected of being set to leave Paris Saint-Germain in the summer after this season scoring 35 goals and providing 23 assists for the French club.
Gerard Pique, in his experience as a defender for both Barcelona and the Spanish national team, was asked for his opinion on which of them is superior Erling Haaland or Kylian Mbappe.
“Haaland is more of a pure striker. He is very tough and scores a lot of goals,” he told The Overlap with Gary Neville, as reported by talkSport.
“I would say that Mbappe is more typical of a complete player. He plays more than a winger, but can also be a striker.”
“Both are very, very good. I’ve never had the chance to face Haaland, but I’ve played against Mbappe. It’s hard to choose between the two,” said Pique.
