He delights the world delights first with his goals, then with speed. When he runs into an unset defense, it seems as if there is an unequal balance of power, that he can outrun everyone, which he often does, even with the ball. That’s why the discussion started about whether Kylian Mbappe could be successful on the tartan track.The impression from the side offers a positive one, while the profession explains that the only answer is negative. It finds its foundation in the difference in sports, because football and athletics are not the same, no matter how much (we remember that) Usain Bolt tried to use his speed to try out on the grass. He didn’t do well. Neither would France’s best scorer at the World Cup in Qatar.”Mbappe is a fantastic athlete, his speed makes a difference on the football pitch, but it hurts him to be compared to sprinters. In this context, it is not a phenomenon. In football, an artificial intelligence system is used that collects data from each player and makes it spectacular,” explains Paolo Camossi, the coach of Marcel Jacobs, the current Olympic champion in the shortest athletic discipline, in a column for the Italian La Stampa.Who is this guy? He looks familiarJacobs ran 100 meters in 9.80 seconds in Tokyo last year. Against Poland, in the round of 16, Mbappe developed the highest speed of 35 kilometers per hour, which fueled the topic of how to manage in another sport. However, the positions are not the same, because Kylian, to begin with, would have to leave the starting block. Besides…”The instruments used to measure the speed of players are made only for football. Since soccer players don’t need to be 100-meter sprinters, they simply don’t care about accuracy. If the system used at the World Cup were applied in athletics, Bolt would run 100 meters in 8.05 seconds, and Jacobs in 8.31.””A football player who develops maximum speed in a 100-meter race would collapse after 60m,” Camossi added.Football fans: OMG! Mbappe ran a top speed of 36km/hr , Usain Bolt ran an average speed of 37.5km/hr in the World Record. Imagine Mbappe in a race ve Bolt.Athletics fan: who understand the difference between “average speed” & “top speed” pic.twitter.com/MMIFFqCYPs— John Olumide (@Olumes58) September 16, 2021 The Italian coach states that sprinters develop much faster speed compared to football players. In particular, if Kylian Mbappe ran 35 kilometers per hour at one point in the round of 16 of the World Championship, Jacobs would have a result of 43.3 km/h, and Bolt even 45 km/h. According to those parameters, the Paris Saint-Germain ace would have stopped the stopwatch at 10.90 seconds during the 100-meter race, if he had not collapsed before that, as the profession claims.And in 2022, as many as 204 French sprinters had a better result. The first is Meba-Mickael Zeze (9.99), and the 204th is Antoine Bedel (10.89).If nothing else, on Saturday we will see a spectacular duel in the quarter-finals of the World Cup, as Kylian Mbappe and Kyle Walker will run into each other, with a reminder that the English representative ran at a speed of 36.7 km/h against Wales in the group stage.FIFA WORLD CUP QATAR 2022.’He was burning my legs.
