I was watching some goal highlights of both players and it dawned on me that they have never scored a freekick! It is kindof depressing that the two supposed faces of football lack so much to their game. Mbappe is probably the player most would agree is the best in the world but the fact that he is doesn’t bode well for the coming generation.
Why do you think both players have been so abysmal at freekicks? They don’t need to be great but at least score at least one. My goodness
Haaland doesn’t have the finesse to score freekicks (yet), and city has better options so why on earth would pep let him take free kicks he can’t score. Mbappe was never the first option free kick taker, but I think he’s better than haaland at it (neither are really good tho). They’re young and they have time to develop that part of the game. Your view of the best player in the world is somewhat muddied. We’ve been spoilt by Messi and Ronaldo; but sometimes you just can’t do it all, simple as that.
