For Mbappe, the pressure on this European Championship is too great. Before the European Championship, his transfer affairs shocked the world and made him the center of attention; His injury in the European Championship was a heart-wrenching issue, and the mask made people laugh; Entering the knockout rounds, he was determined to score more goals and prove himself while helping the team move forward, but the opponent's tight marking put a lot of pressure on him, but fortunately, they managed to advance.
The world's "first person" who works hard
In this game, Mbappe took the mask and restored himself to a "complete state", although it will more or less restrict his performance, but it is still much better than the discomfort of wearing a mask. It also gives Mbappe more confidence, and he wants to play well and prove himself before his appearance at the Bernabeu.
However, Belgium is Belgium after all, although they have a big sense of decline, but after all, this is a battle between the second and third places in the world, and the opponent will not be easily disarmed. Therefore, Mbappe played very hard throughout the game, and it can be said that he did his best.
After 90 minutes, Mbappe contributed 5 shots and 5 successful dribbles, and the defensive contribution was also a lot, which was particularly positive. This shows how seriously Mbappe takes the game. When Vertonghen was caused by Muani, Mbappe's excitement and running over to hug his teammates couldn't be hidden. He wanted to win so much.
For Mbappe, this is a new challenge
Of course, there is a problem in front of him, which is also a problem encountered by many celebrities in the world. That is, how on earth are they going to prove themselves in the case of shrinking defense? Tedesco's strategy in this game worked very well, he encouraged the players to compress, did not give the opponent the opportunity to create a speed advantage, made the middle crowded, and made the side confrontation relatively fierce, which really limited the enemy's play.
In fact, France's poor performance in the group stage also comes from this.
Not only the French team, but also England and Portugal have encountered similar difficulties, Haaland's poor performance in the tournament during the season, Kane and his teammates' goal problems, and Ronaldo and his younger brothers' difficult tests, which are basically similar. It can be said that the strength of the giants and their ordinary teams is indeed expanding, but this is only a paper comparison; If the average team arranges a tight defense, relies on stacking to block, and does not attack to limit the opponent's stars, then it is really difficult for Mbappe.
Difficult to play in the upper half
Luck came to Mbappe's side this time. The 2022 Qatar World Cup is also Muani, and it is also at the end of the game, with an excellent chance, Argentina won the championship after being saved by Martinez. However, this time he completed self-redemption, causing the opponent to own the team to help Deschamps lead the team to advance. For Mbappe, although he is weak in scoring goals, he can keep his dreams and hopes when he comes to the next round.
He came to Real Madrid, but he started a new journey and pushed a new challenge. Bellingham's performances at the European Championships have once again confirmed that he is not a messy character, and how Mbappe will get along with him when he goes to the Bernabeu is a question. Especially after the opponent won a series of trophies such as La Liga and the Champions League. Of course, that's not even talking about the bears. If the Cubs can continue to work hard in the America's Cup, it will be difficult to say how the Ballon d'Or will be awarded next season.
Therefore, the difficult top half is a challenge and a good opportunity for Mbappe. If Mbappe can lead the team to continue to kill the enemy, win Portugal in the next game, try to beat the host Germany in the future, shine in the final, and go to the Bernabeu with the Delaunay Cup, then his start will be extraordinarily smooth; On the other hand, if it is eliminated, then the problem of the "Green formula" will most likely become Achilles' heel, even if others don't say anything.
