00:00Could dictator Kylian Mbappé destroy Atletico Madrid?
00:03Okay, I'm quoting a tweet that's obviously trollish, but I'm still wondering...
00:06Is this the Zumba that Kylian Mbappé did first at Paris Saint-Germain and then at Real Madrid?
00:10Madrid
00:11Could he do it again in Madrid?
00:12And what if, specifically, there was a parallel world of football?
00:14If Kylian Mbappé went to Atletico Madrid, could it really destroy the club?
00:19Or could that work?
00:21To this question, I am still generally convinced by two things, or even three in truth.
00:24The first is that he won't have the status he wants, however
00:26I think Diego Simon would put it in very quickly, or not.
00:29We saw this, for example, with cases like Joe Felix.
00:31So it's true that he's softened his stance a little on that, as on other things.
00:33'elsewhere
00:34This season, Alvarez in particular, has been a regular starter for quite a while.
00:37While his level of play in the middle of the season was still very average
00:40But I think Kylian Mbappé could complain all he wants.
00:42If Cholo decides to bench him or substitute him, well, he won't hesitate.
00:46Secondly, however, I think that physically Mbappé will suffer
00:49We know that Mbappé hardly ever makes any defensive recoveries during matches.
00:52We know that physically he is not at all made for running, running, running
00:55It's just about occasionally picking up speed, picking up depth
00:58And his game relies a little less on that now.
01:00But I assure you that in the parallel world where Kylian Mbappé signs for Atletico Madrid
01:04He ended his first training session under Diego Simeone by vomiting.
01:07I think some of you don't realize the physical demands placed on Diego Simeone.
01:11As he himself very aptly puts it, effort is non-negotiable.
01:14And even though, like many things, it's a little less caricatured than in 2016
01:18Like defensive play, etc., well, lots of things, even what I said earlier.
01:21report to status
01:22Well, Cholo's staff still remains extremely physically demanding.
01:25He demands a lot from his players
01:26And with Mbappé, I think it will take a little time to adapt.
01:29Well, I think he'd rather leave during the winter transfer window than stay here.
01:32And thirdly, I think Mbappé at Atletico in 2017-2018 could have been exceptional.
01:39If Atletico Madrid had the very young Kylian Mbappé instead of AS Monaco
01:43And that Simeone, from the very beginning, could have molded him to his tactical program.
01:47Combined with a prime Griezmann, I'm sure that this Atletico Madrid side could have been the first
01:51Champions League
01:52Today Kylian is 27 and well, there still aren't any
01:55I don't think I'm the right person to make fun of people since my club doesn't have any at all, but
01:59Good
01:59I think he's the right person for Asia, Asia, Asia, Asia
01:59of Asia of Asia of Asia of Asia of Asia of Asia of Asia of Asia of the
01:59Asia Asia Asia Asia Asia Asia Asia Asia
