What is the most successful way to finish the World Cup in Qatar? The soul-stirring night at Russell Stadium gave the answer. Di Maria performed the play of the arrival of angels, Mbappe turned the tide with a hat-trick, and Messi scored twice in the final. The World Cup in Qatar had its peak showdown in the most epic way, with Lionel Messi leading the crown of Argentina, and France failed to become the first team to defend the title for the first time in 60 years.
Perhaps, any language to describe this epic battle is unimaginative, the opposing sides of the victory or defeat, but no one is the loser. The 24-year-old Mbappe became the second player in World Cup history to score a hat-trick in the final. Holding World Cup golden boots, he gazed at the Hercules Cup like Messi did eight years ago. Messi won the championship on such a night, but the future was destined to belong to Mbappe.

Coincidentally, Mbappe became famous in the World Cup against Argentina. It’s just that there was a clear gap between the Pampas Eagles and the Gallic Roosters in the 1gamot 8 finals four years ago, and the showdown between the giants in Kazan actually tilted the balance from the very beginning.
In a game like that, Mbappe put on a genius performance in the first 11 minutes. He drove straight in after getting the ball in the backcourt, sped through the entire Argentine defence and was finally knocked down in the penalty area to make a penalty. Mbappe, then 19, was not the eldest brother of Gaul Rooster, and it was Grizman who stood 12 yards, but everyone knew that the biggest contributor to the goal was the young and frivolous Mbappe, in whom people seemed to see the charm of Ronaldo’s youth.
Looking back on the goal wars four years ago, you will still marvel at Mbappe’s extraordinary talent. When the two sides fell into a 2-2 standoff in the second half, Mbappe broke into the penalty area with a small-angle shot for France, then he went straight into the heart of the penalty area and scored twice in five minutes. Although Lionel Messi sent two assists for the Pampas Eagles to fight against trapped animals, everyone knew that Mbappe, who made three goals alone, was the protagonist, a 4-3 game in which the young genius became famous on the World Cup stage.
The 2018 World Cup was perfect for young Mbappe, who scored France’s fourth goal in the final and scored four goals in his first World Cup trip, not only scoring in the final, but also winning the cup with the team. Strictly speaking, however, Russia is not the place where Mbappe became famous in the first World War, because his career had already written a screenplay of teenage success.
Yes, the talented Mbappe broke Henry’s record as early as 2015, becoming the youngest league player in the history of Monaco; he scored twice in the U19 European Youth final at the age of 17, helping the French national youth to win the championship. At the age of 18, he helped Monaco beat Manchester City and Borussia Dortmund in the knockout stages of the Champions League, unexpectedly broke into the semi-finals, and with 15 goals and 11 assists in the league, Monaco broke the Paris monopoly and won the Ligue 1 championship.
As a result, Mbappe moved to Paris on loan plus a huge transfer fee at the age of 18. In the eyes of the world, the birth of young talent is destined to inherit a new era, and the sparkle of the World Cup in Russia seems to further confirm the views of the outside world. It’s just that Mbappe has gained as much as goals in four years from Russia to Qatar, with negative news and constant controversy.
[moving forward in controversy, proving yourself with World Cup performance]
Mbappe, who has spent the past four years preparing for the game in Paris, has neither won the Champions League nor seemed to win the Golden Globe, and public opinion has become relentless towards Mbappe as he grows older and younger Harland rises. His fruitless performance in the European Championship was ridiculed by public opinion because the failed move to Real Madrid was considered “more money than dream”, because the fight for portrait rights with the national team was criticized by the media and celebrities, and the club was constantly exposed as a conflict with Neymar.
Over time, even Mbappe’s proud technology became the target of criticism. His fast-moving technology is indeed enough to destroy everything, but it is still criticized. Compared with Neymar and Lionel Messi, two pancake feeders who play for Paris, Mbappe seems to be just a scoring machine, so the media say he is selfish on the pitch and is unwilling to make balls for his teammates. he was even portrayed as a “supervisor-like figure” with club decision-making power.
The best way to break the doubt is to respond with a performance on the pitch, as is the case with Mbappe and France. Before the arrival of the World Cup in Qatar, the French Football Association was exposed by a sex scandal, the Bogba brothers staged a drama against each other, and then injuries hit like tigers. Cantor, Bogba and Benzema have been reimbursed one after another, and the “curse of defending champion” is like a dark cloud. But Mbappe and Gaul Roosters had to reject the tragedy, showing strength from the first round of the group stage.
As a matter of fact, the “eye” of the French team in this World Cup is Grizman kicking the 10th position, and the retreating Atletico Madrid striker and Lionel Messi take the lead in the key passing data, but Mbappe’s efficiency is obvious to all. Mbappe scored eight goals, which matched Ronaldo’s performance in 2002 and the extraordinary performance of “alien” Ronaldo in the World Cup in Korea and Japan. It helped Brazil win the fifth World Cup, while France fell short of success, but Mbappe’s performance was also phenomenal.
In the match against Australia, although the French team conceded a goal first, it broke through the defense of the Kangaroo Legion with an excellent overall performance, while Mbappe took over the game in the second half when he scored with a header from Dembele’s cross and then assisted Giroux to score.

In the second game in Denmark, after nearly an hour of stalemate, it was Mbappe who came forward and took the lead in scoring to break the deadlock. After Denmark equalized the score, Mbappe had a clear view of his big heart. He scored twice from Grizman in the 86th minute of the game to help France win 2-1. The brilliant performance in the group stage is just the norm, and it is not difficult for Mbappe to score a goal, even in the World Cup. And his real performance did not keep the world waiting for long, dominating the game in the first knockout stage.

Despite the tenacity of this strong Eastern European team, it is still difficult to completely resist this terrible young force when it comes to Mbappe, who is like a perpetual motion machine, despite the tenacity of this strong Eastern European team in the face of Poland’s 1Compact 8 finals. Mbappe first assisted Giroux at the end of the first half and then scored two goals in the second half to help France advance easily. Mbappe has also become the youngest player to score five goals in the knockout stages of the World Cup since Pele.

In the 1/4 final, France’s opponent was the mighty England. Mbappe did not score a goal, but he firmly restricted England’s talented youngster Saka in his area of responsibility. He succeeded four times in the whole game, which is the highest in the team. After the semi-final against the dark horse Morocco, the early lead of the French team fought back, and Mbappe continued to play the whole game, still contributing the most passing times in the game.
Although there was no goal in two consecutive games, Mbappe’s every flank breakthrough was the bugle of France’s attack. If the Gaul Rooster reached the final again after four years is a sign of strength, then Mbappe is the most stable firepower output point to support France’s strength.

[hat-trick in the final, the future always belongs to young people]
Anyone who witnessed the World Cup final in Qatar will probably have a sense of silence for a moment. If Lionel Messi achieved personal redemption in this game, then Mbappe’s peak form is the best match for Messi to become God. Strong opponents set off strong themselves, in Mbappe’s body, we clearly see a sharper, more domineering killer temperament than Messi when he was young. The feeling of Tianzhong Wizards is not only in the despair of the opponent, but also makes people feel the infinite possibility of human body energy.
When Argentina kept its 2-0 advantage to nearly 80 minutes, no one would have thought that the next trend of the game would be a classic scene that they would never forget. And it is Mbappe who dominates all this. Mbappe helped France easily score a penalty in the 79th minute after coach Didier Deschamps made the French team attack by substituting players. The goal made a significant change in the mentality of both teams and ignited the otherwise dull final instantly. What is even more incredible is that just 97 seconds later, France grabbed the ball in midfield and created a shooting opportunity through two concise passes, while Mbappe, who followed, sent the ball into Argentina’s goal with a very difficult shot.

Then both sides went into extra time, and Messi’s goal helped Argentina take the lead again, and just when people thought the game would end like this, Mbappe once again showed the unpredictable charm of football. With his strong physical quality, the Argentine defense, which has been running all over the court, has been unable to resist and won a penalty again. Mbappe calmly took a free throw, becoming the second player to score a hat-trick in the World Cup final since Hearst in 1966.
Although he lost the penalty shootout in the end, Mbappe looked calm and confident even during the penalty shootout. The young man on his way up the mountain lost the World Cup peak showdown, but everyone saw his near-perfect performance in the final. He already has a World Cup champion, and there are still infinite possibilities waiting for him to create in the future. If Lionel Messi and Argentina win the championship is the most beautiful chapter of the times, then this game, this World Cup, is also the official prelude to a new era in football.
When Giroux, as the fulcrum, and Grizman, who played the role, were replaced, Mbappe at Russell Stadium was like a lone hero of Gaul Rooster, who almost staged an epic of personal heroism with his efforts to turn the tide. Although he missed the championship, he still won applause from all over the world. He scored 12 goals in two World Cups and won one championship and one Asia with the team. Mbappe was a fledgling teenager four years ago, and now he is the absolute leader of the French team.
So, on such an epic night, people want to talk about the old saying: no one can be young forever, but there is always someone who is young. If you compare the World Cup data, Mbappe is even more “efficient” than Lionel Messi, who scored 12 goals and 2 assists in 14 games, eight goals in the knockout stages, four of which were in the final, while Messi scored eight goals in 13 games. It took 26 games.
Four years later, at the World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico, Mbappe is only 27 years old. it can be predicted that as long as he remains healthy, he will continue to break a series of records, perhaps with a smile before the World Cup final. it’s his response to the football world-although he still lags behind Lionel Messi and other historical stars in terms of personal skills, he is already a top scorer who can handle big scenes.
So, on such an epic night, we cheered the coronation of Lionel Messi and Argentina and had reason to applaud Mbappe’s crazy performance. The future always belongs to the young. Can the 24-year-old Mbappe inherit this era?
