In South America, football is not as advanced as in Europe”, declared the double scorer of the final of the World Cup, lost against… Argentina.
Words which, almost six months later, still do not pass with Chilavert. “Look what Mbappé said. That South America does not play good football or that there is not a good level. I would like to see him run at altitude in La Paz (Bolivia) or Quito (Ecuador), or play outside in Brazil. Here he would be an average player, he is predictable. Obviously he has an advantage with his speed, but with a defender blowing his neck we can calmly control him.” To released, in the program « Futbol de los grandes », the former goalkeeper of Velez Sarsfield, for whom he scored 48 goals.
