Guest on the show The Big Mouths on Canal+ Sport Afrique, El Hadji Diouf, double African Ballon d’Or and Senegal Lions legend, spoke about the Neymar-Mbappé debate with his usual frankness. He also attempted a comparison between his career and that of Cameroonian Samuel Eto’o.
« I would say that Neymar is not better than Kylian Mbappé. He is more talented than Mbappé, but not better than him. What Mbappé did today is above. He won the World Cup, he is decisive all the time and he wins titles. I believe Mbappé is better. In my team, I take Mbappé because he can provide me with a lot of services. Neymar, if I need a gala match, I will call him “, said Diouf. The former Liverpool player also lent himself to a reflection proposed by journalist Nabil Djellit, comparing Neymar to himself. True to his direct style, he replied: “ Yes, Neymar looks like me. Maybe I can be more talented than Samuel Eto’o, but Eto’o had a better career. In life, you have to tell yourself the truth. For a gala match, I take Neymar. But for a title, a World Cup or a Champions League, I take Mbappé », added the former Senegalese international, now a member of the staff of the Senegal A national team.
