Kylian Mbappe, 23, is chasing his second consecutive FIFA World Cup title, but former Brazilian stalwart Gilberto Silva reckons that Argentina will make life difficult for France’s dynamic striker in the final at the Lusail Stadium on Sunday.
Silva believes that the relentless South American mentality of Lionel Scaloni’s men will help them overcome the defending champions. “I think the Argentina players are going to make Mbappe’s life very hard. It’s an opportunity for them to win as they lost in Brazil against Germany [2014]. Knowing the South American mentality, it’s like going to war [for Argentina]. It’s do-or-die,” Silva, who is a part of Viacom18 Sports expert panel for the World Cup, said during a media interaction on Saturday.
