Kylian Mbappe - In 2018, 19-year old Mbappé became the youngest Frenchmen to score in a World Cup and the second-youngest after Pele to score in a World Cup Final. The star forward won Ligue 1's 2019 Player of the Year Award and was its 2018-19 and 2019-20 top goal scorer. Nike released Mbappé's first Mercurial shoe in December 2019 .
At 19 years old, Mbappé was the first teenager to score in a World Cup final in decades. The last and only other teenager to do so was Brazilian legend Pelé, who scored at a World Cup final that his country went on to win 5-2 over Sweden in 1958. Mbappé, of course, scored in France’s 4-2 victory over Croatia this year. Pelé even tweeted congrats to the French star, writing “Only the second teenager to have scored a goal in a World Cup Final! Mbappé has described himself as a “kid with a new toy” when he gets a pair of sneakers. His first pair were the Nike Air Maxes. Although he meticulously cleaned them, they would get dirty when he went out on the field to play football. Growing up, so he says in an interview with Hypebeast in March, he would cry to his mother in an attempt to get the shoes he had his eye on. Brand sneakers were pricey, so he often had to beg his mom for the make and model he wanted. 사설토토사이트 Nike Vapors were the first football boots he wore. They were so coveted, he said, some teammates would even ask if they could borrow them to wear for the first half of the game! He declined. Nike even has a special section on their website called, “BOUTIQUE DE MBAPPÉ.” There, it has the star’s choice in footwear. A Nike Mercurial Superfly 360 Elite FG, for instance, costs 370 euros. But, if you’re determined to look like Mbappé there’s several Nike stores to chose from in Paris. Two of the main ones are along Champs Élysées and at Forum des Halles. Mbappé is from Bondy, a town roughly 11 kilometres northeast of Paris. The city has treated the player as the town’s new claim to fame, even adding a red banner to the city hall that read, “Thank you Kylian, all of the people of Bondy are with you!” His town even hosted a welcome back reception, complete with cheering crowds that the Bondy native blew kisses two as he hugged young, excited fans. Before, Bondy was among the banlieue that made less positive headlines, which made Mbappé’s success all the more exciting for the town. As a child, Mbappé trained at the AS Bondy football club. When others watched him play, they dubbed him “the next Henry,” referring to Thierry Henry, current manager of the French club Monaco and former star footballer.

Nice post. I learn something more challenging on different blogs everyday. It will always be stimulating to read content from other writers and practice a little something from their store. I?d prefer to use some with the content on my blog whether you don?t mind. Natually I?ll give you a link on your web blog. Thanks for sharing.
