I feel that when he first burst onto the scene he was this ultra explosive winger who would knock the ball 20 feet out and chase it and ut felt like he was constantly at 100mph

But the more i watch him play now he preserves his explosiveness more… he still is THAT FAST he only uses it when necessary. Far better at linkup play and off ball positioning to get into ideal positions and doesn’t try to take on his man as much as he once did in the past but instead just finds space with out the ball.

      Same conversation, how? Haaland left Norway league at 19, played in the Austrian league for a year, joined Dortmund and at 22 he joined the best league in the world.

      Mbappe is turning 25 and has been playing in the same (average) league for 8 years now.
