Yang GuangCORRESPONDENT
Barcelona coach Hansi Flick has thrown his support behind Lamia Melo's bid for the Ballon d'Or, saying the teenager is simply being honest about his ambitions.
Luca DallolioHOST
So for me, I'm looking at it from a situation of who was the most consistent across all competitions.
Luca DallolioHOST
You look at Mbappe, he had a good World Cup, but he won the Golden Boot also on the final, the match day, which was the match day three.
Luca DallolioHOST
Well, no, sorry, the third place playoff, I should say.
Luca DallolioHOST
He scored a bunch of goals for Madrid, didn't win any trophies for them, wasn't brilliant in the UCL, especially in the knockout stage.
Lyés BouzidiHOST
That's my opinion.
Lyés BouzidiHOST
Why not Mbappe, then? Because Kylian Mbappe arrived to Real Madrid two seasons ago.
Lyés BouzidiHOST
He left PSG, a team where he was scoring all the goals in the world, winning countless Golden Boots in France, and considered by most people one of the best players in the world.
Lyés BouzidiHOST
He left PSG, which he had been aching to do for a while, to join a team that had just won the Champions League, and he joined them to accomplish a goal.
JackHOST
But Selenko's performance became immortal anyways.
JackHOST
To this day, he remains the only player in football history to win a World Cup Golden Boot while playing for a team that was eliminated in the group state.
JackHOST
And you wanna know what's even crazier? That legendary match against Cameroon ended up being the final international appearance of his entire career.
JackHOST
The opening match of the 2014 World Cup in Sao Paulo felt like the entire pressure of the world was on Brazil's shoulders.
8 MINS LATER
JackHOST
Three goals, six shots, four completed dribbles, complete takeover of the biggest match in football.
JackHOST
Even though France lost the penalty shootout 4-2, Mbappe's performance was bigger than the defeat itself.
JackHOST
He finished the tournament with eight goals, winning the Golden Boot ahead of Messi.
JackHOST
And by scoring three times in that final, he became the highest scoring player in World Cup final history.
Sam BonfieldHOST
You know, they come off the bench, Chelsea's struggling, and it turns into a six goal riot with, with, um, Morgan Rogers assisting at will, Palmer with a couple of goals.
Sam BonfieldHOST
And okay, one of them's a penalty, but nonetheless, I, I, I do think, I have Joao Pedro in my predictions for the season to be the Golden Boot winner this season because I think the way that Chelsea are setting up, and I thought this in preseason, which is why I've put him, the way that they're setting up with those two alongside him, I just think that they will constantly create chances and opportunities, and I think that they will constantly score goals.
Sam BonfieldHOST
So in my head, I think the Chelsea attack is the best attack in the league.
Sam BonfieldHOST
I think they will score the most goals in the league.
Alexi LalasHOST
Number five, I have Mbappé.
Alexi LalasHOST
All right? Um, 40 goals with Real Madrid, 10 goals in the World Cup, go- uh, Golden Boot.
Alexi LalasHOST
But I have number four, I have Erling Haaland, okay? And, and I could be convinced to maybe flip these two.
Alexi LalasHOST
Erling Haaland, 27 Premier League goals, um, also added to his assist count and, and obviously starred at the World Cup.
Chuck SmithHOST
42 goals, 7 assists for Real Madrid last season.
Chuck SmithHOST
He had 10 goals and 4 assists in the World Cup shared in the Golden Boot.
Chuck SmithHOST
He had six goals and three assists otherwise in France games.
Chuck SmithHOST
Now, Mbappe clearly will take a hit because he did not win trophies.
ZlatanHOST
and opening him outside of that i don't think there's any other thing that we can anybody can sit here and see pinpoint justifiably that this person is day and night clear above all the other players because i think standard said it the best that everybody lacks something in this race Like Ube Tmihaji, he is now, but Ebebano, Bakubi Ohwa, he has fallen a little bit short there.
ZlatanHOST
Mbappe has won the Golden Boot in every tournament that he has played, every competition.
ZlatanHOST
But none of those tournaments was he the best player.
ZlatanHOST
And he didn't win any of them as well.
Leonard AbekanduHOST
It wasn't that much, but it was six or seven goals in the tournament.
Leonard AbekanduHOST
And that is fairly also okay.
Leonard AbekanduHOST
In some years, he wins the Golden Boots.
Leonard AbekanduHOST
He wins it.
Julien LaurensPANELIST
Kane didn't win.
Julien LaurensPANELIST
Well, he, okay, he won the Golden Boot, yeah, but that's-
James RichardsonHOST
How many, how many PSG players won the World Cup then?
Julien LaurensPANELIST
Well, no, n- well, none.
Daniel GuadagnoHOST
I mean, I don't think it's anything alarming, and I – For people that were criticizing the way he's looked as of late, I mean, I thought he looked good so far this year, the first half of the year.
Daniel GuadagnoHOST
He contributed a lot to Kuyper's being in the lead for the Golden Boot around the time that the World Cup came around.
Daniel GuadagnoHOST
I don't know.
Daniel GuadagnoHOST
I was surprised that some people talked negatively about it.
NickGUEST
So they addressed the back line.
NickGUEST
they had a much better defensive shape emphasis on defense and, and the offense just was going to continue in that next progression.
NickGUEST
And yeah, we saw it with Kuyper's leading the golden boot race comfortably, you know, up until his transfer.
NickGUEST
So it was an emphasis on defense that really helped the Chicago fire get to the point where they're at third in the East, but also the, There was a little bit of a mentality shift.
