Mourinho compares Mbappé to Ronaldo Nazário

José Mourinho is making the most of his time away from the bench. While he waits for a new team, his opinions have become quite respected.

The manager chatted to 'Téléfoot' about Kylian Mbappé, a player who has awed the footballing world with his excellent performances in the last few weeks.

While Vadim Vasilyev, who remembered his Monaco exit to PSG in 2017, compared him to Cristiano Ronaldo, Mourinho chose another Ronaldo, Nazário to establish comparisons with the Frenchman.

"Mbappé's qualities are unbelievable. His style of play, what he can do on the pitch, is something special. You have to be really different and have unique qualities to play like that", Mourinho started by saying.

"When you look at how specific everything he does is, you see he's really different from the other players", he continued.

And he didn't take long in comparing him to Ronaldo Nazário, mythical ex-player, and current Valladolid president: "The only player who comes to mind to compare him to is Ronaldo Nazário. They are players with unique qualities. When you play them, they terrify you".

Finally, Mourinho underlined the Frenchman's humility: "I spoke to Kylian for three minutes at the Ballon d'Or ceremony. When he spoke to me, he also spoke to two or three of my friends. He speaks to everyone with simplicity and politeness".
