Ibrahimovic compares Mbappe with Ronaldo

Zlatan Ibrahimovic has selected Kylian Mbappen as the only player to excite him, compared to legendary former Brazilian striker Ronaldo.

Known by the nickname “El Fenomeno”, Brazilian Ronaldo enjoyed a wonderful career in Europe, representing clubs such as Barcelona, ??Real Madrid, Inter and Milan.

The legendary former striker played a crucial role in the Brazil squad that won the World Cup in 2002 and only Miroslav Klose has managed to score more goals in the history of this tournament.

For this reason, Ronaldo is still regarded by fans as one of the best in football history and, speaking in a recent interview, Ibrahimovic reserved some praise for his favorite player of all time.

“It has always been the Brazilian Ronaldo. When he was playing, everyone wanted to copy him, his moves and everything. He had very stylish style. He was the player who made me stand in front of the television to watch matches,” Ibrahimovic said.

When asked if any player who now plays reminds him of Ronaldo, Ibrahimovic said Paris Saint-Germain’s Mbappe emotionally affected him in much the same way.

“Maybe Mbappe makes the difference, he’s young, we hope he’ll keep working hard. From the age of 19, he has been a star. I hope he’s hungry and passionate about football, growing up and doing even more.”

Like Ronaldo, Mbappe has won the World Cup trophy as a teenager, and both are known for their speed and accuracy in front of the opposing goal.
