Ancelotti: No-Frills And Dangerous Mbappe Is Future Superstar
Napoli head coach Carlo Ancelotti lauded unique Paris Saint-Germain teenager Kylian Mbappe as a future superstar.
Mbappe is among the nominees for the Ballon dāOr, after winning the World Cup with France and helping PSG claim a treble last season.
The 19-year-old forward has enjoyed a fine start to the season, with eight Ligue 1 goals ā including a stunning four-goal haul against Lyon ā and two Champions League strikes.
PSG will host Italian side Napoli on matchday three in the Champions League and Ancelotti praised Mbappe ahead of the Paris showdown.
āMbappe is a nice player, very fast; but there are a lot of fast players, the difference is he can be both fast and effective at the same time,ā Ancelotti said.
āWhatever he does, heās very effective. He is a no-frills guy, a very direct player. And therefore, very dangerous.
āHe is very young, he will definitely be a star in the next few years.ā
Napoli top Group C with four points from two games, a point ahead of French champions PSG.
